Thanks, Doug. My App uses WinZip to upload zipped files to an ftp site. I
recently purchased a new computer which is 64 bit. Programs are stored in
the folder Program Files (x86) and not Program Files. Since my code has a
hard coded reference to the path (which was presumed to be Program Files), my
program can no longer find WinZip.

I had forgotten that My App has this vulnerability. I wish there was another
way to find WinZip than what you suggest, since it requires knowing the file
name of a zip file on the user's computer. I've decided to start storing the
full path in a local table. If MyApp can't find it, it will ask the user to
locate WinZip via File Search code. Then Myapp will store the full path for
future use.

However, I would prefer to be able to find it in code.

Also, what happens when WinZip32 becomes Winzip64??

Oops. Just noticed I was missing the final slash on the folder:

success = FindExecutable("MyFile.zip", "C:\SomeFolder\", sResult)

Take a look at what Randy Birch has at

WinZip. If possible, I'd like to start with as little information as
possible, (Example WinZip).
