I have a problem where if i obtain the icon location for the shortcut Adobe
reader 8.0 it causes an access violation. The icon location is:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A81000000003}\SC_Reader.exe
It seems to collect and save the icon location fine, but if i close the form
its running on i receive the AV and im not sure why. It also only seems to
happen to the Adobe reader shortcut, all other shortcut (icon locations)
seem to be fine.
From what i can tell it seems to be the length of the string not so much the
information, but how can i change it to accept any length?
Can anyone point me in the right direction for what im
doing wrong?
char * pszFile;
pszFile = location.c_str();
string LnkInfo = "";
HRESULT hres;
IShellLink* pShellLink = NULL;
//Initialise COM
CoInitialize(NULL);
hres = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ShellLink, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IShellLink, (LPVOID*)&pShellLink);
if (SUCCEEDED(hres))
{
IPersistFile* ppf;
// Get a pointer to the IPersistFile interface.
hres = pShellLink->QueryInterface(IID_IPersistFile, (void**)&ppf);
if (SUCCEEDED(hres))
{
WCHAR wsz[MAX_PATH];
// Ensure that the string is Unicode.
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, pszFile, -1, wsz, MAX_PATH);
// Load the shortcut.
hres = ppf->Load(wsz, STGM_READ);
if (SUCCEEDED(hres))
{
HWND hwnd;
// Resolve the link.
hres = pShellLink->Resolve(hwnd, 0);
if (SUCCEEDED(hres))
{
int iShow;
unsigned short usHotKey;
_WIN32_FIND_DATAA pfd;
char buf[10];
//obtain shortcut information
pShellLink->GetPath(pszFile,MAX_PATH,
&pfd, SLGP_UNCPRIORITY);
