Get File path from running exe file

[Esben]

Hi
I need a vi that can receive the filepath information from a running
application in windows, maybe this a winapi call, like the winutil toolbox,
can anyone help me??

Hi Esben-

There is a SDK funciton, GetCurrentDirectory, that should help. It is pretty self-explanatory. I'm not sure how you are going to access a running exe, through other SDK calls? That might be tricky, be careful. I would just embed the GetCurrentDirectory inside the exe itself or have another program launch your exe for you and return the current directory. Jsut some ideas.

good luck-
