Can you please refer to the part of the documentation that documents
that PATH is not searched? In

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/dynamic-link_library_search_order.asp

the documentation says that the PATH is searched in step 6.

How do you get VS to do that?
