Is it possible to get the directory of a process?

Or even better, the directory of where the DLL was before it was injected?

Thanks.

Since your injector is usually with your DLL, GetCurrentDirectory

Are you talking about getting the path of a loaded dll in the current exe?

If so, then you can just loop through the modules (CreateToolhelp32Snapshot() + Module32First()/Next()) and find yours, then get the szExePath param, I think.

Eh, that only returns the exe name. =(

I think.

Edit: Opps, I made a mistake. I was thinking of Process32Next.

Thanks!

GetCurrentDirectory can be changed during runtime, so it doesn't make for a feasible solution in an application that reads data from various locations. (If it uses this and SetCurrentDirectory to flip flop between things.)

I would go with what sponge suggested as it would be static.
