Question:
How can I determine where the Windows directory is?
Answer:
You can make a call to the Windows API function
GetWindowsDirectory().
If you want the system directory, simply call the Windows API function
GetSystemDirectory().
Example:
#define MAX_PATH 144
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
char a[MAX_PATH];
GetWindowsDirectory(a, sizeof(a));
ShowMessage(a);
GetSystemDirectory(a, sizeof(a));
ShowMessage(a);
}
