Needed: Winapi Docs Off-line

Hi! I just dived back into an old project I have after years of no work and am having a problem: its install program is giving me an error message. However, I don't have the WinAPI docs on me. I am looking to download the docs. They don't need to be up-to-date, as this program and others are to work on Win98. Where can I find them?

 

Try this:

Downloading it now. Thanks!

 

You're welcome. Please let me know if it was helpful.

 

I didn't try it yet, but you can help me with my project. It has an install program that only writes a file association to the Registry, but it keeps giving me an error #5 at Step #1. I am posting the code here:

Code:

int PASCAL WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,
        HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
        LPSTR lpszCmdLine,
        int nCmdShow )
{
    int i;
    LONG k;
    HKEY keyCFile, keyShellNew;
    LONG result;
    char filename[MAX_PATH+12];
    filename[0]='\"';
    GetModuleFileName(0, filename+1, MAX_PATH);
    strcat (filename,"\\TempCMod1.exe\" \"%1\"");
    i=DialogBox (hInstance,
        "InstallTempCMod1",
        GetDesktopWindow(),
        (DLGPROC) InstP);
    switch (i)
    {
    case 0: // Cancel
        MessageBox(
            GetDesktopWindow(),
            "Install canceled",
            "TempCMod1 Setup",0);
        return 0;
    case 1: // Install
       
        k=RegOpenKeyEx (
            HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,//"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT",
            ".c",
            0,0,
            &keyCFile);
        if (k!=ERROR_SUCCESS){
            sprintf (filename,
                "Error installing TempCMod1, step 1, error %d.",
                k);
            MessageBox (
                GetDesktopWindow(),
                filename,//"Error installing TempCMod1, step 2.",
                "TempCMod1 Setup",
                0);
            return 1;
        }
        k=RegCreateKeyEx(

        if (k!=ERROR_SUCCESS)
        {
            RegCloseKey (keyShellNew);
            sprintf (filename,

        {

            RegCloseKey (keyShellNew);
            MessageBox (
                GetDesktopWindow(),
                "Error installing TempCMod1, step 3.",
                "TempCMod1 Setup",

            return 1;

        return 0;
    }
}

 

"...but you can help me with my project"

Thank you for your confidence, but I'm not a programmer. Some VBA work in MS Access, some scripting (VBS and PowerShell, mostly), but that's about it.

 

Oh. Sorry!

 

Don't be. I'm not...not about that, at least. I came late to computers, and my interests ran more toward hardware.

 

Earlier today, I tried the link, but it was limited in the information it provided. Is there another link?

 

Not of which I am aware, but there have to be several sites devoted to programming in Pascal.
