For example, if MSVCRT.dll or MFC40.dll are installed in an application's directory, but not in the system directory as expected, the application will not see the DLLs even though they exist in the same directory. CAUSE Windows 98 defines a registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\SessionManager\KnownDLLs If a .dll name is placed under this registry setting, Windows 98 only looks in the system directory for that file. This enhances performance. If you remove the registry key, Windows 98 will find the DLL in the application directory. RESOLUTION Remove the registry key for the DLL if this is a problem. STATUS This behavior is by design.
