DLLs loaded from a GINA   

Is there anything special I need to do in order to load my own DLL from a 
GINA?  I tried it, and it works fine from a normal process... but at 
least sometimes (I could have sworn it worked at some point, but not now 
anyway), in a GINA, this leads to an error message indicating the GINA 
DLL could not be loaded, and that I need to restore the original.

The DLL I depend on is located in the same directory as the GINA DLL, and 
my understanding of DLL loading is that, therefore, there should be no 
problem loading it.

Re: DLLs loaded from a GINA   

Hay Chris - i've done a lot of work with GINA's and my current 
implimentation loads 4 other DLL's without issue.

However, you should check what the secondary DLL is doing, what it is 
binding to, and what it is trying to load.

I've seen issues when using DLL that are dependant on other COM objects - 
there seems to be some issue when using or instanciating COM from within a 
GINA DLL or any DLL that it loads - this is the only thing i can think off.
