Well you should try to add the sqllite library to your app to retrieve the cookies from the db

you could try CppSQLite - C++ Wrapper for SQLite[^]

I tried that but during runtime i get the error "This application failed to start because sqlite3.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
What can be done to solve this problem.

Solved.
We have to copy sqlite.dll in the same prject folder which we are running.

You need to have sqlite.dll in the system path rather than same folder.

thanks for that.
I have another question. using CppSQLite - C++ Wrapper for SQLite I am able to retrieve chrome cookies(where it is stored in file "cookies" without any extention), but when i try to access mozilla cookies which are stored in "cookies.sqlite", i get "UNKNOWN ERRORS". Any idea why this happens and how to solve it.
