Native dll not found due to iis shadowing

[oliverjanik]

I installed this lib using nuget into a ASP.NET mvc site and ran it locally. It failed with an missing dll exception.

I suspect this is due to iis shadowing.

Experienced something similar. The search path would be the ASP net temporary directory. I solved this by adding the following:

    public static class MediaInfoHelper
    {
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        static extern bool SetDllDirectory(string lpPathName);

        // .... etc.
    }

And calling the SetDllDirectory() to add to the search path
