[Klone-users] Windows service : change and know the execution path

Wed Nov 25 09:15:02 EST 2009

Hi Steven,

thank you for response but it's my question (sorry :(  ).
For example, I have an installation folder "C:\ProgramFiles\KLoneApp" what
contains :
- kloned.exe
- config.ini (this file will be modify by another application)

If I launch "kloned.exe" as standard application in MS-DOS console, the
execution folder is "C:\ProgramFiles\KLoneApp".
But if I install kloned as a Windows service and I launch "kloned.exe" with
"net start kloned" command line, the execution folder is
"C:\windows\system32".

To read my "config.ini" file, I have this index.klx.

================================
<html>
<body>
<%
FILE *file;
file = fopen("config.ini","r); //local file in "C:\ProgramFiles\KLoneApp"
if(file)
{
  ...
  fclose(file);
}
%>
</body>
</html>
================================

I would be known this installation directory which contains "kloned.exe" to
change the execution path by calling SetCurrentDirectory() Windows function.
This installation directory is stored in Windows registry (in ImagePath
key).

This way, my KLone application could be execute regardless of standard
application or service mode.

Can you have a function (or a solution) to know this installation directory,
please ?
