There are several options that control the loading and use of DLLs. To access these options, first add the DLL to your project and right-click on the file:
Read Order
This controls which DLL will be loaded if an external and internal file exist at the same path location. Setting this option to "Always read from internal version" provides the highest level of security by ensuring an external DLL will never be loaded.
In some cases, the ability to replace internally bundled DLL may be desirable.

Extraction/Caching
This option should always be set to "Never Cache/Extract" for DLLs unless in a rare occasion you need to write to a DLL to change its internal contents.

Registering DLL/OCX for COM and ActiveX components
These options allow your DLL or OCX file to be registered with the system registry. Click here for more information.
Module Search Path
This option allows you to control the search path that is used when a DLL loaded without a full pathname.

DLL Linking on Windows 95/98/ME
On these platforms, Thinstall creates a small stub file in the Windows TEMP directory when a DLL is loaded and deletes this file when the program quits or frees the library. The stub DLL does not contain any executable information from your original DLL.
For the Windows NT/2k/XP platforms, this stub file does not need to be created.
