I think there might be a function giving the correct (localized) name.

ADDING THE "-g" flag to the dmd command line will make it work!
(should we blame dmd for this?)

unfortunatly dantCompile doesn't respect the check box for "-g"

these work (lines are chopped - must be rebuild):

these where generated by the dool compile utility
"comd -exe simpleGL -src simpleGL -obj obj"
"comd -exe DUITestGL -src testGL;openGL -obj obj"
the dantCompile uses "comd" to compile.

To compile the "comd" comand line interface goto
C:\dantfw\doolD\src\compiler (or equivalent)
and run the install.bat

Hmm... tested, works indeed... Fails if "-gt" is specified... /me says "blame dmd :D". Thanks for the quick-hack :) !

I think I found this problem,
I just uploaded a corrected Installer.exe.
please replace the one from the ZIP file and try again.

I also uploaded a version of dantCompile.exe that
passes the flags to the DMD compiler.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=97723&package_id=136197

#######################

the problem is on dool.io.Path where the parent directory of
any path already on the root is returned as empty instead of "\".

this problem might also exist on phobos.std.path (or is it phobos.std.file?)
I'll check it later.

What does the USERPROFILE env var contain?

On my system it's the directory in which the 'Start Menu' directory resides.

yes, true, but the problem is the name of the "Start Menu" directory itself.

What about "SHGetSpecialFolderLocation" in shell32.dll/.lib

thank you, seems that's what I didn't know.

looking at the manuals I can see that I'll be able to do it in less the 3 years.

// Syntax
HRESULT SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(
    HWND hwndOwner,
    int nFolder,
    LPITEMIDLIST *ppidl
);

// what the hell is that!...

So non english DUI users I need help...

Here is an example I whipped up quickly.

#include <windows.h>
#include <shlobj.h>

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#ifndef FALSE

#endif

#ifndef TRUE
#define TRUE !FALSE
#endif

#define getStartMenu(p) getSpecialFolder(CSIDL_STARTMENU,p)
#define getPrograms(p) getSpecialFolder(CSIDL_PROGRAMS,p)
#define getDesktop(p) getSpecialFolder(CSIDL_DESKTOP,p)

void shFree(void *block)
{
	LPMALLOC pMalloc;

	if (SHGetMalloc(&pMalloc) != S_OK) return ;
	pMalloc->Free(block);
	pMalloc->Release();
}

int getSpecialFolder(int nFolder, char *path)
{
	LPITEMIDLIST pidl;

	if (!path) return FALSE;
	if (SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(NULL, nFolder, &pidl) != S_OK) return FALSE;
	if (!SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, path)) {
		shFree(pidl);
		return FALSE;
	}
	shFree(pidl);
	return TRUE;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char path[_MAX_PATH];

	CoInitialize(NULL);

	if (!getStartMenu(path)) printf("Failed: %d\n",GetLastError());
	else printf("%s\n",path);

	if (!getPrograms(path)) printf("Failed: %d\n",GetLastError());
	else printf("%s\n",path);

	if (!getDesktop(path)) printf("Failed: %d\n",GetLastError());
	else printf("%s\n",path);

	return 0;
}
