Re: Muilti-language batch files

I have a GUI program that runs on Java. To start the program, I execute a batch file. The batch file has set statement:@set FP2HOME="C:\Program Files\Transition\FocalPoint2"

The problem is that the batch file does not work on PC's that have Win XP installed using a non-english language. Apparently, the directory name 'Program Files' is translated to a different name on the other languages. How do I make a batch file to work on all Win XP language versions?

I would appreciate any help

Thanks


To access standard Windows folders reliably you should use Win32 API calls or wrappers for such.

As an example, here are some .NET doc references that came up on Google: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/netdiagnostics4.asp

MSDN Library should help you with the rest.
