@eryksun - is there a sample resource: blog post, code snippet, msdn documentation, that demonstrates how that all works? 

I personally find the MSDN documentation of "what happens when I call LoadLibraryEx" not very user friendly. They seem to be written to document the system calls and not to explain the user experience. A diagram with some examples of setting and debugging this would go a long way to helping users enter the right mindset to debug failures to load DLLs because the support dlls they depend on are not found
