Hey guys. I have created a ini file, inside I have nothing. I want the user to write there which DLL he would like to load. By default I have a DLL called Medit.dll that loads when the application opens, but I also want to open the dll that the user specified in the ini to load as well. =\ Can you guys help me out of point me somewhere? Thanks
You can use LoadLibrary with REadPrivateProfileString
but what you want to do with the library AFTER you load it?

Thanks, I will try that. I'm trying to do a loader, that will inject the Medit.dll. But I want the user to be able to add another dll to be injected. I got all the code ready, all I need is how to take the dll name that user set in the ini file.
GetPrivateProfileString - this is the correct function name for reading strings from ini-file

How are you going to GetProcAddress() the functions in an unknown dll?
How will you know what paramaters the functions take?

I suppose the replacing dll should export exactly the same interface as the dll it is going to replace...

So the new DLL has the same functions (I assume different functionality), with the same paramaters?
Why does it have a different name/path then?
Is it a bogus copy of the original DLL for some neferious / malicious reason?
If so why are we helping?
