Windows always checks the application's local folder for .dll files before checking system folders. This is the safest method for legacy apps because it avoids modifying the global system.

Some older applications do not look for DLLs in the Windows system folders; they look only in their own installation directory. This is common with USB or network-deployed apps.

Visual FoxPro applications cannot run as standalone .exe files; they need specific support files (DLLs) to function. This is common when trying to run older business software on Windows 10 or Windows 11.
