Hello!

When using SHGetFolderPathA in my script, it always returns -1.
Flexera uses a FormatMessage function (available in IS 2008 and later?) to display further information.
Is it possible to use this in IS5?
Can anyone help me with this function to copy into my script?

Thanks a lot!

I think that FormatMessage essentially does the same as Visual Studio's ErrLook and works for error codes similar to 0x80070005 which are returned by Windows API functions. However, -1 looks like a generic return value that doesn't give extra information. I think you'd have to use the Err object's LastDllError property, but I guess that doesn't exist in IS5.

Thanks, Stefan!

I will try the WinApi FormatMessage and see if it helps ...
