Hi:
I don't think i am, I was under the impression that argv[0] gave me the full executable path. If not, how do I obtain this.
Cheers
Sean.

Hi!

probably you are trying to remove a directory? If so try using remove_all instead.

Hi:
I am using the following code with boost.filesystem:
size_t origsize = strlen(argv[0]) + 1;
    size_t convertedChars = 0;
    wchar_t wcstring[1024];
    mbstowcs_s(&convertedChars, wcstring, origsize, argv[0], strlen(argv[0]));
        boost::filesystem::wpath path(wcstring);
        path.filename() =L"compilation date.txt";
        if (boost::filesystem::exists(path))
//              boost::filesystem::remove(path);
I have defined:
#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED
The line that causes probles is:
//              boost::filesystem::remove(path);
Anyone got any ideas why this line causes a window error report to be generated.
For reference I'm including:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp>
#include <string>
Cheers
Sean.
