Hi

Thanks

Hm, they are the same for me.. maybe not for others though...
Code: Select all
buffer.s = ""
ebuffer.s = ""
GetSystemDirectory_(buffer.s,#MAX_PATH)
GetEnvironmentVariable_("Path",ebuffer.s,#MAX_PATH)
Debug buffer.s
Debug ebuffer.s

You could always change the environment variable and see if the API call
gives the same string?

I ran this:
Code: Select all
spot = AllocateMemory(100)
GetSystemDirectory_(spot,100)
Debug PeekS(spot)
and it gave the same value as found in the environment variable. Then I changed the environment variable to read "sysstem32" instead of "system32" and ran it again. It still gave the original value. So, no. I would say it comes from something else. Oh, yeah I better change it back now.

Did you reboot after changing it? Maybe it needs that? Don't know.
