Could NOT load MFC regular DLL! about memorymodule HOT 4 OPEN

@tommy8421 @mw7536 I have been successfully load MFC dll library just like lynnux pointed. Basically you just hook GetModuleFileNameA or GetModuleFileNameW for the Unicode one to use main module path instead. Here's my example:

static HMODULE kernelHModule = 0;

static DWORD WINAPI HookGetModuleFileNameA(HMODULE hModule, LPSTR lpFilename, DWORD nSize) {
	DWORD result = GetModuleFileNameA(hModule, lpFilename, nSize);
	if (result == 0)
		result = GetModuleFileNameA(0, lpFilename, nSize);
	return result;
}

static FARPROC CustomGetProcAddress(HCUSTOMMODULE module, LPCSTR name, void *userdata) {
	UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(userdata);
	FARPROC proc;
	if ((module == kernelHModule) && ((DWORD)name > 0xffff) && (strcmp(name, "GetModuleFileNameA") == 0)) {
		proc = (FARPROC)HookGetModuleFileNameA;
	}
	else {
		proc = (FARPROC)GetProcAddress((HMODULE)module, name);
	}
	return proc;
}

This one if your MFC dll is Ansi, for Unicode, you can replace GetModuleFileNameA with GetModuleFileNameW and LPSTR lpFilename with LPWSTR lpFilename. Then you just load with MemoryLoadLibraryEx with custom CustomGetProcAddress like this:

kernelHModule = GetModuleHandle("kernel32.dll");
hinstDll = MemoryLoadLibraryEx(dllData, dllSize, MemoryDefaultAlloc, MemoryDefaultFree, MemoryDefaultLoadLibrary, CustomGetProcAddress, MemoryDefaultFreeLibrary, NULL);

just hook GetModuleFileName to get this work.

Hooked GetModuleFileName, and see that an empty string is being returned for my MFC dll loaded by MemoryLoadFile, but I don't see what to do in my hooking function. I also suspect additional problems with this Unicode MFC dll due to Unicode. Anybody tried that?

May be your code solves the problem. But it is a drity workaround.
It is wrong to return the path to the EXE file when the caller wants the path to the DLL.
There will be cases where this does not work.
