Title:
Equivalent of SYS(16)
Hi,
I'm writing a small "splash screen" app using Borland C++ Builder.
It works quite well, but I'd like to defend the exe against a user installing my exe in another directory and trying to run it.
What I'd like a a procedure in C++ or the Windows API which returns the same information which I get with SYS(16) in Visual FoxPro, so that I can ascertain the location of the exe which is running (the splash screen) and thus find the location of my Visual FoxPro exe (which will be in the same directory).
Using the current directory won't necessarily work, as the user could run my exe from a Windows NT command prompt
i.e. C:\myappdir\myapp.exe.
Best
Matt.
