CreateFile fails to open temp file
-
Hi I have a program asociated with a file extension, when I open the file via Outlook, it creates a temp file in: Documents and Settings/sebastian/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/OLK37/file.mio My app receives the path, but CreateFile fails with error 123: File not exist The file exist, but that is a system/hidden folder. Why is failing to open the file?? This is my call to create file:
HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(param, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);Thanks in advance :D -

Try and open a cmd console to check if the path is really correct. Sometimes folders have another name as the one displayed. Can you open the file with Notepad at the given location ?
