Windows NT 4.0
>Description:
The loading DSO fails when server directory differs from one where Apache installed.
Suppose Apache installed in c:/program files/apache group/apache so the modules in
c:/program files/apache group/apache/modules. Then I installed my service
Apache.exe -i -n "MyServer" -d "c:/my_server". In this case if I place into httpd.conf
any LoadModule directive it couldn't be done because of Apache loads DSO dll-file
as c:/my_server/modules/mod_xxxx.dll in place of 
c:/program files/apache group/apache/modulesmod_xxxx.dll
>How-To-Repeat:
Do as I've written in description
>Fix:
The only way is to use Registry database where you have to save information of installed Apache location and use it information when loading modeles.
