You can't, the lookup of dll files is dependant on your operating system. Basically windows (which uses dlls) looks for them in the following order.

  1. The folder where the executable has been executed.
  2. The standard system paths like the system32 folder.
  3. All folders in the PATH variable.

So there are two things you could do:

  1. Update the PATH variable on the system of the user and add your desired dll location
  2. Just supply the dlls inside the installation folder of the executable

But why would you specifically need to supply all this?
