C++ - How to I get the base address of a process (.exe)
I want to use ReadProcessMemory. It needs the "base address" as a second parameter. I have the process handle. How to I get the base address (HMODULE)?
I have tried calling VirtualQueryEx with the second parameter set to NULL. It returns 28 (is successful), but the information in the struct is garbage. The base address is always 0. I have tried EnumProcessModules but it only gives the DLLs that that application has loaded.
I want to obtain the address from within my program.

Call GetModuleHandle(NULL). It returns the HMODULE (load address) of the EXE. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683199.aspx

That will not work. I want to get the base address of another process. Not my own base address.
So i have another application running, e.g. "calc.exe". I want to obtain its base address, not my own.

Sweet, thank you very much :)
C
C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
