sqlite3.dll Stored in Temp Directory possible?

I am wanting to use sqlite features in autoit... but it seems that the dll needs to be in @ScriptDir, @WindowsDir, @SystemDir or @WorkingDir only?

Is it not possible to FileInstall it into @TempDir?  I don't want to download the dll into any of the hard coded locations just in case I'd be overwriting the dll which may be used by another program.  I also don't want to install it into the @ScriptDir since I think that looks messy.  I'd rather install it into a Temp Directory so I could delete it later once my program is done with it. I also don't trust the built in download of the file since sometimes the download is unavailable.

 

I tried using:

#include <SQLite.au3>
#include <SQLite.dll.au3>

DirCreate(@TempDir & '\TempFolder')
If StringInStr(@OSArch, '64') Then
    FileInstall("files\sqlite3_x64.dll", @TempDir & '\TempFolder\sqlite3_x64.dll', 1)
    _SQLite_Startup(@TempDir & '\TempFolder\sqlite3_x64.dll', False, 1)
Else
    FileInstall("files\sqlite3.dll", @TempDir & '\TempFolder\sqlite3.dll', 1)
    _SQLite_Startup(@TempDir & '\TempFolder\sqlite3.dll', False, 1)
EndIf

;.... Rest of my code ....

But once I try to run my program it finishes quickly with no errors... but it does not run my entire program.  If I do the same thing but have the sqlite3.dll file in the @ScriptDir it works.

Is it not possible to set a location for the local sqlite3.dll?

You don't need the DLL include and you shouldn't add x64.

#include <SQLite.au3>

DirCreate(@TempDir & '\TempFolder')
If StringInStr(@OSArch, '64') Then
    FileInstall("files\sqlite3_x64.dll", @TempDir & '\TempFolder\sqlite3_x64.dll', 1)
Else
    FileInstall("files\sqlite3.dll", @TempDir & '\TempFolder\sqlite3.dll', 1)
EndIf
_SQLite_Startup(@TempDir & '\TempFolder\sqlite3.dll', False, 1)

;.... Rest of my code ....
