ObjCreate working dir

[CyRius]

Heya. I have a strange question.

I have a function ObjCreate(). How could i change the wroking directory?

I want to use the ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1") in a script, and i must be sure that i can access the winhttp.dll, so i put the dll file near the script (in case of the missing winhttp.dll). But the ObjCreate() searches for the dll in the system32 folder.

How could i change the working dir for this function or how could i open the dll from an other folder?

the working directory dosen't matter all that matters is if the dll is registered...

There is no such thing. Dlls are loaded in the order specified by Windows.

More importantly, you can only create registered objects. Registered objects require the dll to already exist somewhere.

Hmm, i see, but is it imposible to do this?

There is no other way? (i want ObjCreate() not DllOpen/Call/Close)

[Richard Robertson]

If you want ObjCreate, you need to register it. If you are registering it, it should be somewhere for other programs to access it.

I wonder though, why would you run into a computer without that object? That's one of the standard things that people will just have.

I want to create a messenger, but in my school i dont have admin rights and the winhttp.dll is missing (and few other), and i dont have permission the copy it to system32.

The messenger must work on every computer (even the user dont have admin rights and dont have the required .dlls).

If you don't have the user rights to do this, then it is against the rules to do it.
