The FindExecutableImage function locates an executable image file.
HANDLE FindExecutableImage(
| IN LPSTR FileName, | |
| IN LPSTR SymbolPath, | |
| OUT LPSTR ImageFilePath | |
| ); |
Parameters
FileName
The name of the executable image file that is needed. This can contain a partial path.
SymbolPath
The path where symbol files are located. This can be multiple paths, with each separated by a semicolon (;).
ImageFilePath
The full path of the executable image file that is found.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is an open handle to the executable image file.
If the function fails, then the return value is NULL. To retrieve extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The FindExecutableImage function is used to locate an executable image file. This function is provided so executable image files can be located in several different directories through a single function call. The SymbolPath parameter can contain multiple paths, with each separated by a semicolon (;). When multiple paths are specified, each directory tree is searched for the executable image file. When the file is located, the search stops. Thus, be sure to specify the SymbolPath with the paths in the correct order.
