Research direction
Start by examining the Level Zero loader's Windows DLL search behavior around LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32 and the dependent DLLs used by zello_world.exe. Determine whether the current behavior should be documented for security reasons or changed, then verify the chosen outcome with zello_world.exe and the affected validation-layer DLL loading.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The Level Zero API uses LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32 and thus loads dependent DLLs from c:\windows\system32. This yields errors on systems shipped with Level Zero DLLs in system32. Building an app with ze_loader.dll from the repo (e.g. zello_world.exe) will load dependent DLLs (e.g. ze_validation_layer.dll) from system32 and not from the repo. If this behavior is due to security considerations it’s probably worth a note in the repo. Otherwise one of the less restrictive search options for DLLs might be appropriate.
