Using the PATH Variable worked fine. Just some quick questions for a better understanding:
If a Java program calls System.loadLibrary("XXX"), are all directories specified by the PATH varibale searched for a DLL called XXX? In case there are more directories specified that do contain a DLL called XXX, which one is taken? The first occurence specified in the PATH Variable, the last one? Can anyone explain the difference between PATH, CLASSPATH and java.library.path. I am a little stuck on when to use use which property. Thanks in Advance for your time!
