Hello,
generally, we need to package our DLL along with the metro app for it to get loaded upon the app launch. But, if I have a DLL which needs to be loaded onto several metro apps, then something like "Appinit_DLLs" feature would be helpful (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744762(v=vs.85).aspx)
However, I have a dummy 32 Bit DLL which I am trying to load onto my couple of my Metro Apps (32 Bit) using the Appinit_DLL feature, which is not going thru. I did follow the steps (configs in the registry) mentioned in the above link, but in vain. Please,
let me know if we are not allowed to use Appinit_DLLs for our metro Apps?
Interestingly, I was able to load a dummy 64 Bit DLL (using Appinit_DLL) onto the Internet Explorer App (iexlpore.exe) and Control Panel All (systemsettings.exe) which were basically launched from the WIN8 TILE interface. I guess, these two apps are no different
from the legacy windows apps and does not run inside the app container like the other metro apps?
Regards,
SN
