Determining DLL location?

[Justin Cooke]

I'm creating a couple of debugging text files from a DLL and I need these to appear only in the same directory as the DLL. I have been using GetCurrentDirectory() to determine the path and appending the filenames to that. This works fine with my test application. However, with the release application (which I have no control over), the files are created on the desktop. Is this because the application is changing the current directory? Both the application and the DLL are in the same directory (usually: c:\program files\...) So, is there a way to determine the full path to the DLL from within the DLL and not worry about the current directory? Thanks:)

Try GetModuleFileName() Art

I use the following.. _TCHAR drive[_MAX_DRIVE]; _TCHAR dir [_MAX_DIR]; _TCHAR fname[_MAX_FNAME]; _TCHAR ext [_MAX_EXT]; _TCHAR path [_MAX_PATH]; GetModuleFileName(NULL, path, _MAX_PATH); _tsplitpath(path, drive, dir, fname, ext); CString strCurrentDir = CString(drive) + dir; Rob Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door!

Thanks for all the help. I've got things working just fine now.
