I currently am getting around it by doing

CreateThread(0, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)Init, 0, 0, 0);

But from what I understand, when you create a thread in DllMain it queues it up to be executed after DllMain executes. So how can I have a MSIL DeInit function? Creating a thread wont work because it will execute after the dll is no longer in memory.

you could possibly try using createremotethread on yourself... createremotethread behaves somewhat differently

CreateThread uses CreateRemoteThread . I may try opening the current process and doing that but I think it would queue every new thread.

yep, but with slightly different parameters...

for example...

make 2 exe's, one is a launcher, the other a dumb program that prints some output

program 1 -> launch and suspend program 2

program 1 -> createremotethread on the now suspended program...

what happens?

well, the thread actually runs, even though the process its 'attached' to is suspended

thus createthread != createremotethread

which is why i suggested trying it

I am talking about DllMain though. Which when it is executing there is a lock in place.
