Technically, Windows use these locations to search for DLLs:

- system directory
- 16bit system directory
- Windows directory
- current directory
- directories in PATH

The problem with Calibre is that it doesn't use application's directory for some of its searches (those referencing the contents of library.zip - curiously, it finds library.zip just fine)
