Hello everyone :)
I've got a series of filepaths that look something like this:
- C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted
- C:\Windows\System32\svchost
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steam\SteamService.exe /RunAsService
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steam\SteamService.exe" /RunAsService
and I need to find these paths' actual locations. So, respectively, the above would be:
- C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe
- C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steam\SteamService.exe
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steam\SteamService.exe
What's the best way to go about doing this? Does windows have an API function to accomplish it? I essentially am trying to figure out what executable CreateProcess will call if I pass it that path.
Thanks!
