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).

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