When I try to compile a non-VDS DLL with my project, I can't save it to a file. This is the code I'm using (try it with a DLL of your choose.. Smile

Even if U successfully compile what is the use ? I think it will be in raw format like.(I know i used technically wrong words)
I dont think it will be extracted properly and you will have load the dll manually yourself - I think - extremely difficult in VDS i guess.

I struggled with an almost identical API call to get a module filename. Only through USER32.DLL.

I don't have the code here, but something like this:
