Hello and apologies if I missed the answer to the following - been searching for hours, honestly.

The problem is (?) simple: I'm trying to replace certain executable with my own compiled script, to contain its execution - so far, so good. Thing is, the respective executable might be called from within another application and possibly being passed parameters. I've been searching through the Help file and the forums board, however I couldn't find out how to find and pass the calling application's full path & name to my script, so it would display it (in a message box or whatever).

For example, an installer upon closing, launches a text file in Notepad, specifically. I replace Notepad.exe with my script and when the application runs Notepad passing <path>\filename.txt as parameter, I want my script to display something like:
C:\Windows\Temp\AUFJS067\install.exe tried to launch Notepad with the parameters:
C:\Program Files\SomeBogusName\filename.txt

I'd appreciate any directions on how to achieve this. Thanks in advance!

You can pass parameters to scripts, so you could try:

Thanks, I already knew that. My problem is only how to find out the name/path of the application that called my script.
Here's a sample script:

Instead of An application, I want it to display the path/name of the application that called it, as per the example in the first post.

Thank you so much, that is what I needed!
(obviously I've been using the wrong keywords in my searches...)

Cheers!

[EDIT]
Oh shoot, reading the original thread with shimano's posts, I notice Win9x are not supported by GetModuleFileNameEx( p_pid ). Thing is, I really needed this for all Windows versions, especially 98SE (which I'm running on a daily basis).
I may have to find a workaround, using another function/library...

[EDIT 2]
Scratch that, I noticed HuBa's script has

I'm too tired now, I'll shut up. Thanks again for the help!

Sorry for the multiple editing above, I was extremely tired.

I've tested HuBa's script in Win98SE and it didn't work. Looking closely through the code, I noticed a DllCall to a function not present in Win9x versions of ntdll.dll: RtlFillMemoryUlong.

However, I found the said function in radmin32.dll. I'm not sure if all Win9x family would work with this, but at least it works on my system. The change I suggest (to keep most of the original code intact) is as following:

I still gotta find a way to fix GetModuleFilenameEx(p_pid) to work with 9x - probably by using the available GetModuleFilenameA - but for now I'm getting result 0 from that call and need to figure out why.

I'll be back with news.
