win32utils devel - May 2005 - Possible win32-dir mods

Hi Zach (or anyone with VC++ 6),

I was hoping you would test a couple things for me. 
The first thing I would like you to try is replacing
"#include <shlobj.h>" with "#include
<shfolder.h>".
That, or try including both.

If that doesn''t do the trick, the next thing I''d like
to try is commenting out all the rb_define_const lines
that were undefined except CSIDL_ADMINTOOLS.  Then put
this somewhere near the top of dir.c:

#ifndef CSIDL_ADMINTOOLS
#define CSIDL_ADMINTOOLS 0x0030
#endif

Then recompile.  Assuming it works, then try "put
Dir::ADMINTOOLS" and see if it prints out anything. 
If it doesn''t print anything out, then I''ll know it''s
not worth defining them manually.  I''ll just wrap the
rb_define_const function calls.

Thanks.

Dan

With Visual Studio 6 I do not have a shfolder.h, although I do have a 
shlobj.h. (Although with Borland BC55 you do get shfolder.h). Instead in 
shlobj.h I have the following constants defined:

#define CSIDL_DESKTOP                   0x0000
#define CSIDL_INTERNET                  0x0001

The CSIDL_ADMINTOOLS returned nil, however I did the same with 
CSIDL_HISTORY and it worked.
