c++ load dll from resource directly

Code Wanderer 396

I want load dll from resource. Unfortunately I can only find examples for load dll with unpack the dll in to disk and then load it from LoadLibrary. But I want load it directly from memory if possible. How to do that?

FindResource and LoadResource load the dll to memory but I can't find how to use it for GetProcAddress

The first Google link gives : MemoryModule

Thanks, I am aware of this, but this is a library.

I hope there is some "official" function from microsoft where I can load dll from resource and use it as with LoadLibrary or similar function.

Nope, no such "official" function exists. All the "official" functions like LoadLibrary, LoadLibraryEx load a dll from the file system.
