Hi all!
I would like to activate the windows 2000 compatibility dll.
Why this piece of code doesnt work?
Code: Select all
RunProgram("regsvr32", "/s %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll", "", 1 | 2)
Finally, i've used :
Code: Select all
; find the file with API
path$=Space(255) : r=SearchTreeForFile_("c:\","slayerui.dll",path$)
; register the dll
RunProgram("regsvr32","/s "+path$,"",1 | 2)
It works, but is it possible to use %systemroot% ?
Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english.

You need to use GetEnvironmentVariable_() to retrieve the systemroot value. RunProgram() doesn't handle it.
Ok

By strange coincidence, I used this yesterday
Code: Select all
Procedure.s ExpandEnv (env$)
; Call once to get size of required string...
sizerequired = ExpandEnvironmentStrings_ (env$, dest$, 0)
If sizerequired
; Fill the new string with the path...
dest$ = Space (sizerequired)
result = ExpandEnvironmentStrings_ (env$, dest$, 159)
EndIf
ProcedureReturn dest$
EndProcedure
Debug ExpandEnv ("%systemroot%")

Maybe you should check, which windows is running, because %systemroot% is no envroment-variable in a Win9X-System

When you have Win89, you should realy take care about it. It is very rare...
