I am using LoadLibrary method to get function addreses.
Reason for it is i want to have control over my program. If certain feature (api) is not avaiable, i want to use socondary function, instead of bailing out entire program.


My iat has only 2 imports. LoadLibraryA and GetProcAddress.
However some AV report this as a virus, and people complain.
Do you have a solution for me? When i put something in my iat, i have no guarantee that it will be there in next windows release.

perhaps you can put the dll with the exe?
this way, if its not present in the windows, the one you added will be used.

Windows doesn't remove API functions with next releases.

what about RegisterServiceProcess()? Cant find it in newer dlls.

I found something like that API but it's name is RegisterServicesProcess in user32.dll

b1528932: use imports for all the normal API functions, and LoadLibrary + GetProcAddress for the special ones. That should give you ever so slightly faster loadspeed (especially if you BIND imports, at least for pre-vista OSes), stop AVs from bitching, and is generally the sane thing to do.

this function was documented. they removed it. they did it once, they do it again. what if they remove LoadLibraryA?

Then how would people import libraries ? :/ I think its not removable API. maybe they'll remove GetProcAddress API ?

b1528932,

RegisterServiceProcess() was Win9x-specific, one shouldn't expect to find it in NT. MS didn't remove it since it didn't exist in NT from the beginning.
