get_OutputPath

Description

Retrieves the output path that has been set for the packed executable file. This method returns the file path previously specified via put_OutputPath.

Syntax

HRESULT get_OutputPath([out, retval] BSTR* pstrPath);

Parameters

pstrPath
Type: BSTR*
[out, retval] Receives the current path where the packed output file will be generated. The caller must free the returned string with SysFreeString.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT.

S_OK if the output path was successfully retrieved.
E_POINTER if pstrPath is null.
Other standard COM error codes on failure.

Example

CComPtr<IBxProject> project;
if (SUCCEEDED(BxPackerApi_CreateProject(&project))) {
    project->put_OutputPath(CComBSTR(L"C:\\Packed\\MyApp_Packed.exe"));
 
    CComBSTR outputPath;
    if (SUCCEEDED(project->get_OutputPath(&outputPath))) {
        wprintf(L"Output file will be saved to: %s\n", static_cast<wchar_t*>(outputPath));
    }
}

Remarks

Use this method to verify or display the location where the packed executable will be saved.
The returned path represents the file that will be created after invoking the build operation.
You can call this method at any point after the output path has been set.
