[DUG] File Path

[Jolyon Smith]

Also you might like to take the information in this MSDN page into account:

(among other things, it explains how different FOLDERID's used in the
GetFolderPath API are interpreted, depending on permutations of 32/64
bit'ness of app and OS)

Hi

 

I have an executable which I need to access that is installed in Program
Files.

 

With the advent of 64 byte in Windows 7, I need to distinguish which of the
two file paths to use depending on the operating system.

 

Win 7 path - C:\Program Files (x86)\...

 

or

 

Win XP path - C:\Program Files\...

 

Any thoughts on an easy way to do this would be appreciated.
