    Have you tried running the app with the DLL in your projects working directory. I believe that that is the last place that windows looks if it can't find them in the system area.

    You can configure your app to run with all files necessary in the working directory
    as David stated. This will give you a local install type of setup so you can
    copy your apps folder and paste it to the schools computer and it will run,
    always looking into the local folder for all dependent file(s).

    I usually do this when I make a program run from a CD without installing
    anything (demo cd). You can do the same. Place all you files on a CD and
    have you code reference the app.path and so forth.
