Post subject: fopen() with vista

I write any files in vista using fopen() is there something you need to different for vista?

this is how i used fopen...(worked with xp)

Code: Show/Hide

bool run=true;
FILE* f;

while(run)
{
if(!(f=fopen("file.txt","w")))
{
MessageBox(0,"Can't write to file.txt","file.txt",0);
return 0;
}

should work with Vista as well.

I think fopen would even work on Linux. It's a pretty standard IO operation

Does the file.txt exist? I think you need to use W+.
What library is MessageBox() in?
Isnt this c#?

i got it to work, vista was blocking it i guess, anyway to adam01 its c++ and MessageBox() is in windows.h

Vista has that DEP thing or something that prevents programs from writing in places such as Program Files
