Retrieving the address of the 'LoadLibraryA' api function ?

[AssemblyBeginner]

Hi all,

I am trying to write masm code to dynamically retrieve the kERNEL32  LoadLibraryA api function address (or the address of  GetModuleHandleA api that serves the same purpose as LodlibraryA)

Normally, one can obtain the address of an api by first using LoadLibrary to load the library where the api is located then using GetProcAddress .. but the problem here is that the target api function (whose address we want to retrieve) is LoadlibraryA itself  therefore we seem to be caught in a vicious circle !

Any thougts anyone ?

Regards.

Hi AssemblyBeginner,

What's the exact purpose? You could try to get the base of kernel32.dll

In fact, I am trying to simply learn how to display a simple MessageBox (nothing malicious) as per the thechnic described here : (See Example 2 - A Message to say "Hey")

Ok Vortex - Fair enough and I do apologize .

Can you or anybody else kindly suggest a place where I can ask this question? I have searched the internet for question forums but with no much luck so far .. There seems to be very little documentation on the inetrnet about the subject.
