SUMMARY
Add-Ins for Microsoft Visual Basic may use satellite DLLs that contain resources such as localization information. This article describes the search patterns used by an Add-In to locate the satellite DLL.



MORE INFORMATION
When loading an Add-In, Microsoft Visual Basic attempts to look for a Satellite DLL in the following order:


 * 1) \Resources\

The LocaleID identifies the locale language that the current Operating System is running under. Visual Basic will look for a satellite DLL first in the LocaleID directory.
 * 1) \Resources\1033

Visual Basic will search for an English directory (1033 is the LocaleID for Standard English).
 * 1) \

The directory where the Add-In is installed will be searched last.
