Shell functions and versions ?
-
Hi everybody, I am busy writing an setup program for my application. I am using some shell functions like SHGetSpecialFolderLocation to get Program files location. The problem is that this function requires a specific version of a shell dll to be present on the system. What do I do if I install the app on a older system like NT or 98 and the version of the system dll is old ? Is there a set of redistributable shell objects that will ensure the application work on all environments or is there another solution to this problem ? Help appreciated. Regards Ramsus Carpe Deum

SHGetFolderLocation(), which did not come out until Windows 2000, and Windows Me.
