Thread: LoadLibrary using the full path, not just the file name

let me explain, because the last person who asked this got flamed for some reason about using a dll for illegitimate purposes, although i didnt see the problem with what he was asking. Im making a program which uses a plugin like archetecture, and I want to load a dll by its path name, however

Code:

    HINSTANCE hInstLibrary = LoadLibrary("C:\pathTo\dp_dummy.dll");
    if(hInstLibrary == NULL)
    {
        FreeLibrary(hInstLibrary);
        wxString output;
        output.Printf("didnt Load");
        logMessage(output);
        return 0;
    }

which returns didnt load. Ive tried pleanty of variation of that, such as using double \\, ommiting the C:, but i cant figure out how to load it.
