[RESOLVED] [02/03] Using environment variables in file path

[asterix299]

I can't seem to figure out how to use Windows environment variables(i.e. %SYSTEMROOT%, %APPDATA%, etc) in file paths... For example:

If Directory.Exists("%WINDIR%\system32") Then
            MsgBox("yes")
        Else
            MsgBox("no")
        End If

This doesn't work, how can I get this to work?

you want to look at the System.Environment class, which has the method GetEnvironmentVariable(). one other thing to note is that MsgBox() is from VB6 and is provided for compatibility reasons. the .NET equivalent is to use MessageBox.Show("yes");
