从探测文件夹运行C ++可再发行文件

Question

I'm currently having an issue with "Probing" dlls from another folder. Specifically the C++ Redistributable files that my application is dependent on and that I have just included in my folder to avoid having to run an installer.

The application runs successfully if these files are in the same folder as the exe:

• msvcp110.dll
• msvcp120.dll
• msvcp140.dll
• msvcr110.dll
• msvcr120.dll
• vcruntime140.dll

However when I in my App.config of my application try to probe dlls to 2 other folders, none of them is loaded upon execution of the .exe.

<probing privatePath="DataResources/cefsharp;DataResources/miscellaneous" />

The DLLS are located in the DataResources/miscellaneous folder. The DLLS from DataResources/cefsharp (which are some of my other dlls) ARE loaded however.

Does anyone know what the issue could be? Thank you very much!

Answer 1

So it turns out that when it comes to these files, CefSharp is dependent on them being in the exact same folder as the CefSharp files themself. In my case, moving these files to the CefSharp folder did the trick.

This is probably not the case in others circumstances but if you are using CefSharp are having this same exact problem, that's why.
