No boss. I need to use simple C++. I can't include advanced features like WMI. Do you have any concept how to get it? Please help me. I am badly in need of it.

does GetVolumeInformation() is of any use to u?

i dont think it will help him. it will give the volume serial number that is given by the windows when u format the drive. the volume serial number is not a permanent one. it will change every time u format the drive. the volume serial number can be changed programatically .
The Manufacturer's serial number can't be retrieved by GetVolumeInformation(). The manufacturer's serial number and model number is embedded in the Firmware of the disk. it is a permanent one and can't be changed programatically since it is kept in ReadOnly area of the disk. U can use WMI classes or even SMART (Self Monitoring Analysis And Reporting Technology)functions to retrive the serial number. Reading through the IO ports may be another method but its a very unreliable one i suppose. There are plenty of examples that are available on the net but the code is in VB. Use Google and see if u can get some examples in C++. Surely the link given by WhiteSky will help.
Good Luck

What operating system is this for? If it is not for Windows then it would help to say so.

Can you show the exact line in your code where you're including the file? I'm interested in whether you're using #include "..." or #include <...>. If your using the latter you may need to set up the path to OpenSSL in your IDE.

I am using #include <openssl/e_os.h> in my code.
I also added the Include path in Tools\options\Directories.

As I asked earlier, I was asking about the quotes: are you using " or < and > and can you show the actual include statement?
Steve
|
|
|
|
|
I used the < > tag.The include statement is #include <openssl/e_os.h>.

You need to give path till directory, containing opendssl folder.
Not of directory opendssl.
I'm talking about Tools-->options-->Directories.

Actually I gave the path like d:\openssl\openssl in Tools-->options-->Directories.Is it correct? Still i am getting error.My header file openssl.h is available in d:\openssl\openssl path.

In this case, you need to use
#include "openssl.h"
In simple words, compiler will look for headers to inlcude in given directories.
If you are using
#include <openssl/openssl.h>
then you should mention d:\openssl\ in Tools-->options-->Directories.

Hi Prasad,
#include <openssl/e_os.h>.
This is my header file in my applicaton .I used like this.
I have mentioned d:\openssl in Tools-->options-->Directories.
The header file e_os.h is available in d:\openssl directory.
Still i am getting error.
Also many header files available in d:\openssl directory whatever i am using in my application.Initially i am getting this error.
My project is available in D:\ directory.
help me.
Thanks in Advance.

hi,
Now it is working well without error.
I include the header file #include <openssl/e_os.h>.
The header file e_os.h is available in d:\openssl.
I set the path d:\ in Tools-->options-->Directories.
Thanks.

In simple words, file path including directories should be present.
i.e.
if you write
#include "e_os.h" and set path d:\openssl that will also work.

Keep in mind, that in the Tools\options\Directories, there is a selection combo box that lets you set directories for .exe files, include files, libraries, etc.
I hope you put your path in the correct section.
Good luck.

How to get the path of "Temporary Internet Files"?
[ in MicroSoft Vista, when a directory is created from ActiveX, it is created in Temporary Internet Files keeping the same hirearchy given the CreateDirectory() API. This is called folder virtualization in Vista. I need to access the same folder from ActiveX. So a general way to get the Temporary Internet Files expecting]
|

As for accessing the 'Temporary Internet Files' from the ActiveX you can use the SHGetFolderPath API with the CSIDL_INTERNET_CACHE flag.
Alternatively you can get the path from the registry 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders' but Microsoft does not recommend this method.
In Vista after virtualization it will actually be created in 'C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files'.
It is interesting to note that under this folder there is a folder called Virtualized which is not actually visible, but if typed in the address bar of windows explorer, its contents will be shown.

Yes, a virtualized folder is creating. When i tried to CreateDIrectory()
"D:\Test\MyDir\", it created the same like D:\...\...\Temp In Files\Virualized\D\Test\MyDir.
But i am downloading an exe to the path and want to invoke it. SInce the folder is created differently, i can't invoke it. As the folder is created by Vista my ShellExecute fails
