Here is how I tried to do: Code int WINAPI SHCreateDirectoryEx(HWND hwnd, LPCSTR pszPath, void* psa); #define PRAGMA_API SHCreateDirectoryEx;Shell32.dll!SHCreateDirectoryExA SHCreateDirectoryEx(NULL, _chr(pif), NULL); I got a crash for the third line: "Script crash in main" I included the following headers: Code #include <acknex.h> #include <strio.c> #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> What should be the correct way of the usage of this function?

Hi,it works here. I am not getting any errors.

Code

///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
#include <windows.h>
///////////////////////////////

int WINAPI SHCreateDirectoryEx(HWND hwnd, LPCSTR pszPath, void* psa);
#define PRAGMA_API SHCreateDirectoryEx;Shell32.dll!SHCreateDirectoryExA

STRING* pif="c:\\xx";
function main()
{
	SHCreateDirectoryEx(NULL, _chr(pif), NULL);

	//verification
	if(GetFileAttributes(_chr(pif))!=0xFFFFFFFF)
	{
		printf("Done!");
	}
}

The function declaration was in the main at my side. After I moved that out of the main, it suddenly began to work. Now it is OK. Thanks again Emre. Last edited by Aku_Aku; 08/13/20 18:41.
