Get systemdir 1

[iamDJ]

Hi

I need some secure way of getting the system32 dir of windows.
It must be able to handle multiple windows installations on the same machine, and also support win98/winNT/win2000/winXP

Does anyone have any help for me?

Thanks
/Daniel

GetSystemDirectory is the API you're looking for....

OK
First i have to say that its been a while for me since i last did some vc.

I tried that API but got an error saying:

The instruction at "0x77f83e3e" referenced memory at "0xcccccccc". The memory could not be "written".

What do i have to declare?

Could someone please give me a hint or a simple sample?

Thanks!

For instance:

_TCHAR* pszPath = new _TCHAR[GetSystemDirectory(NULL, 0) + 1]; //Allocate buffer to hold system path.
GetSystemDirectory(pszPath, GetSystemDirectory(NULL, 0)+1)
