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.
