Noticed LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH flag in LoadLibraryEx

[hvassbotn]

I guess this is a way to avoid loading old DLLs that remain in the applications .exe folder?

FLibHandle := LoadLibraryEx(PChar(LibCefPath), 0, LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH);

If lpFileName specifies an absolute path and dwFlags is set to LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH, LoadLibraryEx uses the altered search path. The behavior is undefined when LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATHflag is set, and lpFileName specifiies a relative path.

Note that the standard search strategy and the alternate search strategy specified by LoadLibraryEx with LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH differ in just one way: The standard search begins in the calling application's directory, and the alternate search begins in the directory of the executable module that LoadLibraryEx is loading.

Yes. It's part of the code Yoo sent here :

It's used to load all CEF binaries in a different directory. You also need to set some GlobalCEFApp properties.
