Exception when delay loading of binaries fail

n4nature (245)
Hi,

My program (myApp.exe) delay loads a dll (TestDLL.dll). I am doing a negative test, where I deliberately deleted TestDLL from its location. So when the program runs, delay load of dll fails, however when destructor of my class gets called, I get this runtime exception.

It looks like program is trying to call some function inside the delay loaded dll. I am not explicitly doing that in my code. This is done as part of cleanup. Any idea as to why and what is the compiler doing here?

Thanks.

What does your destructor do ?
