GetModuleFileNameEx problem in visual basic process paths

Hello,

I am using this module to grab path's from pid's.  This code only grabs paths to processes with windows.  I can't seem to find any code that works properly and actually grabs ALL of the process paths (or atleast most of them).  Any ideas??

I tried it and it seems to work fine with vb6 but not with visualStudio.net. Which one are you using? With VS.NET it seems that calling EnumProcesses doesn't properly update the lProcPoss variable (so you jsut get the first 12 processes). To check if this is the problem in your case, try initializing both lproccount and lprocposs to 400 and 800 repsectively (instead of 8 and 96) thus you should get (the first) 200 processes (instead of 12). Note that this is not a solution, but is just to verify where the problem is.

I'm using vb6.  It is only showing proccesses with windows.  I was able to get it to show more than 12 by opening a bunch of apps with windows.
Ok so you are actually retrieving all the processes in the array ProcessIds, but then openProcess fails because of access rights. Try with the following. I'm not sure about the remaining openprocess errors (some process might have died...)

Nice!  but now the paths are \device\harddiskvolume2\windows\system32\winlogon.exe

any easy way to convert or have it spit out C:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe


it's getting close!
