Hi,
today I needed to obtain the 32-bit program files folder on a 64-bit system (which is typically “C:\Program Files (x86)”), but couldn’t find a enum value for that in File::SpecialLocationType.
We have globalApplicationsDirectory, but that gives the 64-bit program files folder (which is typically “C:\Program Files”).
Could someone please add this line in juce_win32_Files.cpp around line 570:
case globalApplicationsDirectoryX86: csidlType = CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILESX86; break;
and add this enum to the list in juce_File.h around line 876 (preferably inside an #if JUCE_WINDOWS #endif block I assume):
globalApplicationsDirectoryX86
Note:
On 32-bit systems this will just give the same path as the globalApplicationsDirectory enum value would give, so it’ll be correct for both 64-bit and 32-bit systems (see the table for FOLDERID_ProgramFiles at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762584(VS.85).aspx ).
Thanks!
