If this is not a right way, then I probably need a new build...

Check using Process Explorer exactly which DLLs are being used, and where they are being loaded from. You may be surprised - I certainly was, the first time I loaded a CUDA application which could not possibly have worked (as yours can't) - but found that it did.

According to Process Explorer, it seems to be using cuda from C:\Windows\SysWOW64\nvcuda.dll, which is Cuda 5.0.1 from 305.68 drivers.

The ones which matter are CUDART and CUFFT.
Nowadays, these DLLs are 'strictly versioned': Dependency Walker will confirm that x41g depends on
CUDART32_32_16.DLL
CUFFT32_32_16.DLL
It is difficult (but possible) to use alternative versions, because of cross-dependencies, but I suspect x41g will have found what it needs and will still be using it, in spite of your changes to app_info.
