It'll definitely call LoadLibrary under the covers, which means it
uses the standard dll path search strategy (see LoadLibrary remarks at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684175(VS.85).aspx)

The default DLL search path on Windows is:

The directory from which the application loaded.
Directories added by calls to SetDllDirectory
The system directory.
The 16-bit system directory.
The Windows directory.
The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.
