I have an IS project where I want to put some files under TARGETDIR ^ ".." ^ "NewDir", and create the directory if it doesn't exist. The problem is that CreateDir requires an absolute path.
I'm thinking of trimming the trailing "\" from TARGETDIR then using ParsePath(svReturnString, szPath, PATH) to drop the last directory off TARGETDIR, but that is very specific to my particular example. Is there a more general purpose way of converting from relative to absolute paths?
Our installs default to CompanyName\ProductName so usually that will be TARGETDIR, but since products share resources we want to put common files in CompanyName\Data, CompanyName\Log, etc.
