How do I call an embedded .dll so I can use the SOP inside?

I asked a friend to create a SOP for me using the HDK and C++ and he gave me a .dll file which I can run by installing it into the houdini/dso folder in my documents.

Now I would like to embed the .dll file into a digital asset so I can use the SOP without having to install the .dll.

Does anyone know if and how I can access this SOP when its embedded into a digital asset?

That isn't possible. You'll always have to have the dll/dso installed in order to access your custom operator. You can easily save an instance of your custom operator in your digital asset, but you will need to have the compiled library installed somewhere in your HOUDINI_PATH to be able to access it.
