Well yes ... and ...

I don't get it I ask for foo.dll.so (GetModuleFileName) please give it 
to me. What is this problems here? I would like to look into my self. 
Any problems with that? Usually I Just need to know the full path of the 
Installation. Built in or not give me the file strait, no Ice please.

if you are worried about a scenario like

- hL = LoadLibrary( foo.dll ) ;
- GetModuleFileName(hL) ;
- // save fullpath somewhere
- // Load fullpath int DllPath
- LoadLibrary(DllPath)

Well it works LoadLibrary() presumes nothing about names only default 
paths.
Or what are you worried about?
