Typically, when Windows searches for a DLL, it is looking in a list of
places defined by the %PATH% environment variable, after checking the
folder where the application's executable lives. For instance, say I had
an application called DoSomething.exe that relied on a DLL called
FooBar.dll. When Windows attempts to load FooBar.dll, it will first
check in the same folder as DoSomething.exe for it. If it can't find it,
it will then search the folders defined by the %PATH% environment
variable. As for registering the DLL, place it wherever you want it,
then get to an elevated (administrator) command prompt by clicking
Start, typing "command" without the quotes into the search box,
right-clicking "Command Prompt," and choosing "Run as Administrator." At
the command prompt, change directory (cd) to the folder where the DLL
lives. For instance: cd C:\path\to\application. Know that if the folder
name contains spaces, you need to enclose it in quotes, like so: cd
"C:\Program Files (x86)\RadarContact4" Once there, type: regsvr32 <name
of dll>.dll and hit Enter. You should get a dialog box saying that
DLLRegisterServer succeeded. Hit Enter on the OK button, then type exit
at the command prompt and hit Enter.

Hi everyone. RC4 is installed but there is one small problem. I get a dialog saying that a .dll file needs to be loaded and registered. I have said file but do not know where to put it or how to register it. Josh and I tried yesterday to do this and it did not work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
