How to get path C:\Program Files, not C:\Program Files (x86) on Windows x64 using PB compiler x86 ?

[hdt888]

I ran a test with these 2 constants on Windows x64.

Code: Select all

#CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES = $26
#CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILESX86 = $2A

It's alway return C:\Program Files (x86)

How to get path C:\Program Files by using PB Compiler x86 ?

Thank you.

Code: Select all

Debug GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramW6432") 

Returns "C:\Program Files" on both PB 5.73 (32-bit) and PB 6.10 (64-bit).

Code: Select all

Debug GetUserDirectory(#PB_Directory_Programs)

That doesn't return the correct path, pjay. Remember, he's using the 32-bit version of PureBasic.
