Hi,
thanks for the answer.

For the dll its been some time that i ve try it, i forgot which function causes the crash but i ll tell you soon.

For the manifest i already go to msdn and others sites the good typo should be like this : <file name="gdi32.dll" loadFrom="C:\\AnyFolder\\gdi32.dll" />

But when do this i got a launching error like " _crt_debugger_hook cannot be found in msvcr80.dll" ... (It is for the case of an Office Application )" But it works for other applications like IExplore and others.
It seems that the application which already have a manifest file with this line :

<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT" version="8.0.50727.3053" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b">

If i suppress this line Office tells me that he "cant load msvcr80.dll" ...
But for the f sake i dont modify the way he access to msvcr80 i just add a new path to load gdi32 ...

If you have any clue it would be great

Regards

Hi again

Well got no clues for the previous question.

I have another question : how the hell to use the loadFrom in the manifest file, to allow us to not have to copy the both dlls in each application folder ?

Hello,
first of all thanks for this article it helped me much in my project.
It's working for all the applications i want except one : Openoffice (3.1).
I can redirect ol32.dll without any problem but when i try with gdi32.dll it crashes during the launching, and it crashes at start with user32.dll. I made several tests without any success even if i just redirect all originals functions it crashes the same way.
Do you have any clue of why it doesn t work.
Regards
