The following code gives an error on Windows 7, but works fine on Windows Vista and below. Any ideas would be appreciated :(, there is more code to this but we broke it down to bare minimum so others can try to help us.

CComPtr<IMalloc> spIMalloc;
HRESULT hResult = ::SHGetMalloc(&spIMalloc);
LPITEMIDLIST progFolder = NULL;
hResult = ::SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(NULL, CSIDL_PRINTERS, &progFolder );
CComPtr<IShellFolder> spIShellFolder;
CComPtr<IShellFolder> spFolderProgram;
hResult = ::SHGetDesktopFolder(&spIShellFolder);
hResult = spIShellFolder->BindToObject(progFolder, NULL, IID_IShellFolder, (void **)&spFolderProgram );
CComPtr<IEnumIDList> spIEnumIDList;
hResult = spFolderProgram->EnumObjects(NULL, SHCONTF_NONFOLDERS, &spIEnumIDList );
ULONG ulCount = 0;
LPITEMIDLIST listNoFolder = NULL;
hResult = spIEnumIDList->Next(1, &listNoFolder, &ulCount ); // hResult shows an error
spIMalloc->Free(progFolder);

Any help much appreciated

Hi,

Maybe Windows7 wants first parameter to EnumObjects - some window handle. Check if our Explorer sample works with Windows 7.

But strange thing is other CSIDL, eg. CSIDL_PROGRAMS works fine on Windows 7, it is just CSIDL_PRINTERS which is very strange. Could be a bug with Windows 7, as our code works on all OS's except this one. And the code as I said works fine with other CSIDL's just not the printer one.

See Windows 7 has changed the way printers are stored by the looks of it, as it now has Devices and Printers instead of the old Printers
