How to get DLL's GUID?

How do I get windows to see dlls that my .NET program requires? I tried adding to the PATH and System folder.?

• I've been working in Windows XP Professional. My .NET exe requires several .NET dlls. I read several articles on the web and none have helped me. I've tried adding the dll ...show more

• Answer:

  Not all DLLs need to be registered and since your program works when you place in the same directory as the EXE then this is not the problem. Did you add them to system32 directory? This is where I place DLLs and have had no problems. Other than that what you did sounds like it should have worked. I sometimes use .NET stuff and have had no such problems. What language is this? Did you somehow, within your code, specify some exact path or some relative path so that it will only work if the DLLs are in the same directory as the EXE? I mean did you somehow in some way use routines that you referenced to a DLL that must be located in some specific location? Addition. I did some checking and someone claimed that C# requires non-standard DLLs to be located in the same directory as the exe file. I don't use C# so I cannot directly confirm this but others seem to have had the same problem as you and there seems to be no way around it.
