DOCERR: PrependToPath Documented Incorrectly

ID: Q93396

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SUMMARY

The PrependToPath subroutine from the Setup toolkit is incorrectly documented in the Setup toolkit's README.WRI file. The arguments to the subroutine should not be enclosed in parentheses. PrependToPath is a subroutine and, unlike functions, the arguments to subroutines are never put in parentheses.

The syntax of the PrependToPath call is:


   PrependToPath szSrc$, szDest$, szDir$, cmo%

An example of a call to PrependToPath is:


   PrependToPath "c:\autoexec.bat","c:\autoexec.new","c:\tmp",cmoVital

szSrc$ is the full path of the original file. szDest$ is the name of new file created, which has the contents of the szSrc$ file with szDir$ added to the PATH statements. szSrc$ and szDest$ should not be the same. You can use the Setup function RenameFile to rename the original AUTOEXEC.BAT to a backup filename, and then again to rename the new file (AUTOEXEC.NEW in the code above) to AUTOEXEC.BAT.
