The application path registry key contains data that Windows uses as a private search path for the specified application’s .dll files. If you install an application’s .dll files into a directory not found in the PATH environment variable (and not into the application’s directory), you should set the appropriate application path to include the .dll file directory during installation. Application path information is stored in the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AppName.exe.
