I used "CreateToolhelp32Snapshot()" and "Process32Next()" to get information of a process and store it in "PROCESSENTRY32".

Question:
How can I get full path of executable file? ("szExeFile" property just store name of executable file.)
Thank you!

The answer is using Win32 API, despite the thread title.

char szPath[512]="";
GetModuleFileName(GetModuleHandle(NULL),szPath,sizeof(szPath));

replace GetModuleHandle(NULL) - with the one of the running file :)
