Hi, I am a bit surprised by your error message because usually on Windows Mobile, when an application cannot load a DLL, you get a "Invalid Pocket PC application" and that's what I have when I try on WM6.1. On what kind of device are you testing ?
As Danny told you the workaround is to declared the dll in registry : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader\LoadModuleLow] "MyDll.dll"=dword:1 << change DLL name to match Pedro, Danny, I asked 2 months ago but could it be possible to add in the FAQ this issue and how to solve it ? If you want to help us to solve this issue, we would need to be able to compare the kernel of a WM 6.0 with a WM6.1. To do that we would need to extract the kernel file nk.exe from a ROM and I know that some people are doing that kind of stuff on XDA. More generally I tried to do it but without success, so if someone else want to try...
