Thread: Getting the executable-path from a window

I found a solution.
With winnt version you cant use GetWindowModuleFileName for other programs so i used GetModuleFileNameEx and EnumProcessModules. The big disadvantage is that non winnt versions dont have a GetModuleFileNameEx so you have to check the windows versions if its winnt or not .

The toolhelp functions (CreateToolhelp32Snapshot) are available on 95/98/ME/2000/XP but not NT4.0.

I assume you already know this but not calling a function is not enough to ensure the program will work on platforms where that function does not exist. For example, this program will fail to load on Windows 9x:

Code:

if (isWinNT)
{
    EnumProcessModules(...);
}

You can get true backwards compatibility you must use dynamic function loading. VC also has a feature that allows one to call a function normally but dynamic loading is used in the background called delayed loading.

Yes i know, i use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress on the psapi dll.
But thanks anyway for the advise. Is there anyplace where i can find if psapidll is included in all winnt versions?.
