As @eryksun mentioned in the issue tracker, the suggestion to "Try using the full path with constructor syntax" may not solve the problem when failing to resolve a dependency. Should this sentence perhaps be reworded as well? Maybe something like "Ensure that the file and its dependencies are in the DLL search path" would be more accurate. |

Rather than force people to figure out the DLL search path, I'd rather leave the most likely fix right in the message. |

Improve the error message when attempting to load a DLL with
unresolved dependencies.
