CurrentDirectory Property for Generic Applications

The CurrentDirectory property describes the directory in which the application should be run.

Quick Info

Type: Null-terminated Unicode string
Access: Read/write
Status: Required
Function: ClusterResourceControl
Structure: CLUSPROP_SZ
Control Code: CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_GET_PRIVATE_PROPERTIES

Remarks

When ClusterResourceControl processes the CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_GET_PRIVATE_PROPERTIES control code, it returns a property list that includes the CurrentDirectory property as one of the entries. The property value portion of the entry contains a CLUSPROP_SZ structure that is set as follows:

CLUSPROP_SZ CurrentDirectoryValue;
LPCWSTR CurrentDirectoryData = L "C:\bin";
CurrentDirectoryValue.Syntax = CLUSPROP_SYNTAX_LIST_VALUE_SZ;
CurrentDirectoryValue.cbLength = sizeof(CurrentDirectoryData);
lstrcpyW(CurrentDirectoryValue.sz, CurrentDirectoryData);
 

The path in the CurrentDirectory property must be an absolute path on a shared disk. An environment variable representing a path cannot be used. A dot (.) defaults to the directory in which the Cluster Service is installed.
