Hi All,

I want to get System32 path in my driver. My driver is bootstart so no usermode application do it for me. How my driver can do it?

Thanks & Regards,
Amit.

Do not care about this, just use \SystemRoot\system32 as pathname prefix in
ZwCreateFile. This will reference the system32 OS’s directory. The drive-letter
based pathname is just not needed.

Thanks,

Now I am using
\SystemRoot\system32\xyz.dat
file path to read the file, But ZwCreateFile() is returning STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND error status.

I have confirmed file exsist there.

L"\SystemRoot\System32\xyz.dat"

I have done the same otherwise it will give STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_SYNTAX_BAD error

Don’t forget about ‘??’ prefix - it should be like L"\??\SystemRoot\System32\xyz.dat
