In order to run it Go to Start ) Microsoft Visual Studio2008 ) Visual Studio Tools ) Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. Type dumpbin and it will list all the commands present. To see all the methods exported by a particular DLL, change the directory where the DLL is present and type the following command: dumpbin /exports TestStreamDrv.dll To check whether a dll is build for x86 or x64 and type the following com- mand: dumpbin /headers TestStreamDrv.dll It displays a lot of information. Look for Machine which is present in FILE HEADER VALUES . This determines whether the DLL is present for x86 or x64.

Whenver you encounter this issue first check whether ipconfig.exe is actually present in your computer. It is present in Windows/System32/ipconfig.exe.

It is used to get a value of a particular environmental variable. Syntax: errno_t _tgetenv_s( size_t *pReturnValue, char* buffer, size_t numberOfElements, const char *varname ); Parameters: pReturnValue: The buffer size that is required to store the variable buffer: Buffer in which the value of the environmental variable will be stored numberOfElements: Size of Buffer varname: Name of the Environmental Variable. Example: #include "stdafx.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { size_t requiredSize; TCHAR *value; _tgetenv_s(&requiredSize, NULL, 0, _T("SystemRoot")); printf("Size of the buffer required is %d\n", requiredSize); value = (TCHAR *)malloc(requiredSize * sizeof(TCHAR)); _tgetenv_s(&requiredSize, value, requiredSize, _T("SystemRoot")); printf("Value of SystemRoot Environmental Variable:%ls\n", value); return 0

GetModuleFileName function is used to give the fully qualified path of the module passed. Syntax: DWORD WINAPI GetModuleFileName( _In_opt_ HMODULE hModule, _Out_    LPTSTR  lpFilename, _In_     DWORD   nSize ); Parameters: hModule: Handle to the loaded module. If you pass NULL as the first argument , it gives us the path of the executable file of the current file lpFileName:  Pointer to the buffer where the fully qualified path will be stored. nSize: The size of the lpFileName Buffer passed in TCHARs. Return Value:Length of the strring that is  copied in the buffer in characters. Example: GetModule.cpp: #include "stdafx.h" #include <windows.h> int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { TCHAR path[100]; DWORD length; length = GetModuleFileName(NULL, path, 1000); printf("Length: %d \t Path :%ls\n", length, path); getchar(); return 0; }
