It would have ramifications for me as I validate the installation path in the software from a registry entry written by the installer.
Hmmm. -----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of John Bird Sent: Saturday, 12 February 2011 12:21 AM To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: [DUG] Windows 7 Network Oddity ?I have software used on networks that commonly uses its shared folder server as a mapped drive, eg M:\MyFolder with M: mapped to \\Server1\MySoftware\ If a program runs from there, started as M:\MyFolder\MyProgram.exe , there is a difference between XP and Windows 7: XP Application.exename returns M:\MyFolder\MyProgram.exe Windows 7 Application.exename returns \\Server1\MySoftware\MyFolder\MyProgram.exe ie Windows 7 expands the mapped drive to its real UNC name rather than returning the mapped drive name, even though the program was run from a shortcut using the mapped drive name. Anyone know if this is a setting or preference that can be altered? Or do I have to live with either being returned depending on Windows version? Others may wish to check if this has ramifications for them!
