Get exe running location
-
There must be some nice simple function i can use to get the full directory location of where i am running my program from. Lets say my program is "me.exe" from "C:\WINDOWS\stuff\me.exe", then i want to get "C:\WINDOWS\stuff" or "C:\WINDOWS\stuff\" . My search failed so thats why im asking here, thanks :D edit: im in visual studio with a MFC dialog based application edit2: maybe i should add i want to find the full directory from the program itself, so it knows where its running from...

Is there something less hightech and more simple? Like none of the DWORD and all the other stuff (i edited my question abit)

If you want to find path of your program see
GetModuleFileNameand for get path of other process and also an example see Enumerating All Modules For a Process[^]

Im using the code: TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH]; GetModuleFileName(NULL,szPath,MAX_PATH); AfxMessageBox(szPath); however the messagebox show the full path and the executable name, i just want the full dir, thanks :)

Are you kidding? C++ too technical for ya? There's always VB...
