wine users - May 2002 - native dll search order

Hi,


I know wine looks into c:\windows\system and in the current 
dir '.' for native dlls.

What is the order? system dir ou current dir first?
is there another place it looks for it?

The reason is that I want to move dlls that some apps uses
(like  mfc) to the applications dir and avoid dll versioning
problems.

However it would be usesless if wine checks c:\windows\system 
first for it (if there is a dll there).

 From what I have seen, wine checks CWD, then the directories in PATH, 
in order.  Depending on the value in DllOverrides for the particular 
DLL (or default, if there is no entry for the DLL in DllOverrides), it 
will either check for a builtin DLL before or after searching for the 
native DLL.

If you have any doubts, you should be able to play around with 
--debugmsg to have wine tell you explicitly where the DLL is being 
loaded from.
