Capture env varibles from another process

[zzmgd6]

Try to access the environment variables of a current running proces? The following is close but no cigar. Any help to go further. I know it has to do with the PROCES_PARAMETERS contained within the Process Environment Block PEB. But I am completely lost at this point. the following returns the command line of the running process, but I really need to capture the env variables.

BTW, credit goes to other developers for the following.

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I wrote a utility that does exactly what you want:

I use my command path all the time. The utility manipulates the PATH environment variable of the parent process. The only way to do this in Win32 is to inject code into the target process.

Alas, I currently don't have any webspace, so you'll have to get it from MediaFire:

http://www.mediafire.com/?j1mvmbl2yom

The code and documentation should be relatively self-explanatory.

Hope this helps.
