I have created a new resource DLL and registered it with Cluster
administrator using the full path. When I start Cluster Admin I get an
error that the Resource DLL is not found.

On further investigation I found that my resource DLL is dependent on
MFC dlls. These MFC DLLs are in the same path as my Resource DLL. For
some reason, the cluster admin is not able to find these MFC dlls. If i
copy these MFC dlls to WINDOWS\System32, it works.

But thats not what we want to do! Is there any other soultion so that
we can keep the MFC dlls in our install path and not under system32 and
still make it work?

Thanks

Try putting your resource.dll in the %systemroot%\cluster folder and then do
not specify any path when creating the restype. MSCS seems to look here
first before checking the path that you specify for the DLLs.
