Dll loading problem

[hb_harshad]

We have one app.exe which is
1. Implicitly linked to X Library
1.1 X library is implicitly linked to Old version of b.dll
2. Expilictly linked to Y Library
2.1 Y library is implicitly linked to New version of b.dll

Now problem is when we call a fuction TestY from Y.dll.It should call Fun1() from new version of b.dll, but it's calling Fun1() from old version of b.dll.
Can anybody please explain us why it's happening?Please provide us a solution if any.

We have mentioned it in attached screenshot.

Can anybody please explain us why it's happening?Windows does not load two versions of the same DLL per application. Only one version of b.dll is loaded. Whichever version Windows finds first is the one that's loaded.

I would suggest to try:
1. If that b.dll is backward-compatible, just remove the old version.
2. If #1 doesn't work - rename one of the copies of that b.dll and relink your module.

No. Windows will load only one named DLL.
