Can I somehow provide a constant file name for the temp copy?


Continuing to reply to my own thread...

Maybe the simple solution is to not package the DLL within the application at all. I'd guess I could just land the DLL next to the application in the cgi-bin folder of the webserver, then just load it manually in my application code.

That seems simple enough, and likely the direction I'll head, though I'm still interested in any additional input. It'd be nice if the temporary storage location and filename of a wrapped DLL could be specified from within the application's code.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
you are not alone ;-)

The way I understand this is that the dll needs to be copied out
to an OS visible part of the FS.
To change the path with random elements used over to a fixed path
you would have to change this in the the wrapping tool you use.

One reason this might be done ( unique path name ) could be
to manage concurrent multiple invocations of your wrappend app.

If you change over to a fixed path you will have to be carefull
with cleanup at exit.
