What is NTDLL.DLL
I have my own DLL that I am using with NSIS. When I run in the debugger I get an first chance exception at the close of the NSIS script from NTDLL.DLL.

I am using my plugin, the InstallOptions plugin, and the MSIBanner plugin.

Does anyone know the origin of the DLL?

Thanks

its a part of NT/2k/XP

"The Native API is provided to user-mode programs by the NTDLL.DLL library. NTDLL.DLL, besides containing Native API user-mode entry points, has process startup and module loading code in it. The bulk of it, though, are the Native API stubs that transfer control to kernel mode. "
