Resolving %CommonProgramFiles%

[jase jennings]

Hi

Been a long time since I coded anything, but revisiting an old project to make it work on Vista has thrown up a problem I cannot remember how to resolve

I'm fetching a registry key containing "%CommonProgramFiles%\System\wab32.dll"

LoadLibrary() on this string fails. Is there a library function to resolve %CommonProgramFiles% to its actual location (i.e. c:\program files\common in most cases)

Thanks
Jase

Yeah, ExpandEnvironmentStrings is a handy function.
