thanks for your reply!
However, I think I do not quite understand the distinction you make.
My DLL is a COM in-process server. But does instantiating a COM
server not result in a call to LoadLibrary() finally?
I tested the DLL in a COM environment and now also called LoadLibrary()
on it myself. In both cases my DllMain() is not called :-(
