| 1 Chrome Early Loading Framework (aka ChromeELF) |
| 2 |
| 3 chrome_elf.dll is shipped in Chrome's version directory to ease updates, |
| 4 and is loaded early in chrome.exe's lifetime. This is done by turning the |
| 5 version directory into a private assembly which refers to chrome_elf.dll |
| 6 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa374224.aspx). |
| 7 |
| 8 In an ideal world, this would be done by embedding an application config in |
| 9 chrome.exe that would refer to the proper version directory via a |
| 10 probing\privatePath attribute (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa374182.aspx). |
| 11 This would allow us to refer to dlls in the version directory without having to |
| 12 make the version directory itself into an assembly. It would also avoid naming |
| 13 conflicts (as the WinSxS dir and GAC both take precedence over private |
| 14 assemblies when searching for dlls). Unfortunately, the probing\privatePath |
| 15 attribute is only supported for Windows 7 and later. |
