GetPrivateProfileString problem!

[Domac]

I need to read some configuration data from .ini file located at
Application.Sta rtupPath location .


Here is code snippet :

Public Declare Unicode Function GetPrivateProfi leString Lib "kernel32" Alias
"GetPrivateProf ileStringW" (ByVal lpApplicationNa me As String, ByVal
lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault As String, ByVal lpReturnedStrin g As
String, ByVal nSize As Int32, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Int32


Dim File As String = Application.Sta rtupPath & "\" & filename


x = GetPrivateProfi leString("Confi guration", "DestDbPath ", "Error",
tmpString, Len(tmpString), filename)

What is the problem; Everything works fine on XP platform but when I deploy
application on Win98 platform i have problem.



File path is correct, file is correctly formated :

[Configuration]
DestDbPath = \\tlos-server\podaci\n ucleus2002\Baza-proizvodnja.mdb
SourceXMLPath = c:\tlos\izdatni ce
SkladIDs = 655
OJ = 11
User = Domagoj Kovaèeviæ


GetPrivateProfi leString function doesn't retreive data for requested
parameter but fills string buffer passed as reference with "Error"
What to do??????


Is my API declaration correct , I have "googled" and realized that there is
problem with GetPrivateProfi leString function , what is solution????
Win98 platform is mandatory!
I got about 25 stations with Windows 98!


Thanks a lot!

Hello Domac,

Do your stations have the Microsoft Layer for Unicode installed?
