.DESCRIPTION

Get-DllLoadPath returns the path from which Windows will load a Dll for the given executable.

.PARAMETER ExecutablePath

Path to the executable from which the Dll would be loaded.

.PARAMETER DllName

Name of the Dll in the form 'dllname.dll'.

.EXAMPLE

C:\PS> Get-DllLoadPath C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe kernel32.dll

Path
----
C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll

.EXAMPLE

C:\PS> Get-DllLoadPath C:\Windows\SysWOW64\calc.exe Comctl32.dll

Path
----
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Comctl32.dll

.OUTPUTS

System.Management.Automation.PathInfo

.NOTES

This script will not detect if the executable provided intentionally alters the Dll search path via LoadLibraryEx, SetDllDirectory, or AddDllDirectory.
