GetModuleFileName returning blank!

[ns]

I am running in the debugger and find that sPath = "" !!

VERIFY(::GetModuleFileName(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), szBuffer, \_MAX\_PATH));

sPath = (CString)szBuffer; //sPath returns blank!
sPath = sPath.Left(sPath.ReverseFind('\\\\'));	

What am I doing wrong? Many thanks, ns I just found out that I get the sPath if I run the debug config, butr I have setup my release config to allow debugging too, and when that version runs I get blank!

For me, these lines

CString filenname;
::GetModuleFileName(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance, filenname.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH+1), MAX_PATH);
filenname.ReleaseBuffer();

do work. You might want to check the return-code and GetLastErr() of GetModuleFileName.
