WPPS crashes my program whenever I try to use it with a path that has spaces in it.  Anyone know (and I know you DO) how to overcome this issue?

Use the Registry.  WritePrivateProfileString is deprecated.

I want people to be able to edit the values in the ini files without potentially raping their computer, though.

Also note that MSDN says:[quote]Applications should store initialization information in the registry.[/quote]and what I want to store is configuration, not initialization, information.

[code]
char FileName[MAX_PATH + 1];
GetCurrentDirectory(MAX_PATH - sizeof("\\TestFile.txt"), FileName);
strcat(FileName, "\\TestFile.txt");
printf("FileName = %s\r\n", FileName);
printf("Return = %08x\r\n", WritePrivateProfileString("AppName", "KeyName", "String", FileName));
getch();
[/code]

That works, now show us what you did so we can tell you how wrong you are (or show output from that if it doesn't work)

Before I was using GetConsoleLine(), trimming the program name, and adding on the file path I wanted to save to (I deleted this code).  It crashed, even when I manually set it to the same place (somewhere on my desktop), as opposed to having the program do that itself (so it wasn't me).  I searched Google for about 1.5 hours until I found I could just set the filepath to ".\\file.ini".  Thanks for your help, though (I forgot to say it was working).

That works, though.

Note that that only works for an application -- running as a service sets the working directory to %SYSTEMROOT%\System32.

Sounds like you didn't allocate sufficient space for the string...

[code]//crashes
WritePrivateProfileString("appName", "keyName", "value", "D:\\Program Files\\file.ini");

//doesn't crash
WritePrivateProfileString("appName", "keyName", "value", "D:\\file.ini");[/code]

Even that was annoying.
