Re: cvs: php-src /win32 install.txt

We can't. Apache loads our php5apache.dll, which is linked to php5ts.dll. This dep needs to be resolved at load time, which is to say that Apache has to do something about it. There is no way to set an "rpath" under windows, so adding any code to set up the dll directory (ala SetDllDirectory) would have no useful effect. In addition, calling something like SetDllDirectory from within a DLL is evil, since it will screw up the settings for the process (which we don't own) and break other apache modules. The only valid solution is to set the PATH prior to running Apache or IIS. --Wez.
