The function first looks in the Windows Registry for the value <code class="literal">#InstallationDirectory</code> in the key <code class="literal">#HKLM\Software\@package</code>, and if that value exists and is a string, returns that.</p> <p>It is strongly recommended that packagers of GLib-using libraries for Windows do not store installation paths in the Registry to be used by this function as that interfers with having several parallel installations of the library. Enabling multiple installations of different versions of some GLib-using library, or GLib itself, is desirable for various reasons.</p> <p>For this reason it is recommeded to always pass <a class="link" href="glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS" title="NULL"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> as <em class="parameter"><code>package</code></em> to this function, to avoid the temptation to use the Registry. In version 2.20 of GLib the <em class="parameter"><code>package</code></em> parameter will be ignored and this function won't look in the Registry at all.</p> <p>If <em class="parameter"><code>package</code></em> is <a class="link" href="glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS" title="NULL"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>, or the above value isn't found in the Registry, but <em class="parameter"><code>dll_name</code></em> is non-<a class="link" href="glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS" title="NULL"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>, it should name a DLL loaded into the current process. Typically that would be the name of the DLL calling this function, looking for its installation directory. The function then asks Windows what directory that DLL was loaded from. If that directory's last component is "bin" or "lib", the parent directory is returned, otherwise the directory itself. If that DLL isn't loaded, the function proceeds as if <em class="parameter"><code>dll_name</code></em> was <a class="link" href="glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS" title="NULL"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>.</p> <p>If both <em class="parameter"><code>package</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>dll_name</code></em> are <a class="link" href="glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS" title="NULL"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>, the directory from where the main executable of the process was loaded is used instead in the same way as above.</p> <div class="refsect3"> <a name="g-win32-get-package-installation-directory.parameters"></a><h4>Parameters</h4> <div class="informaltable"><table class="informaltable" width="100%" border="0"> <colgroup> <col width="150px" class="parameters_name"> <col class="parameters_description"> <col width="200px" class="parameters_annotations"> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td class="parameter_name"><p>package</p></td> <td class="parameter_description"><p>You should pass <a class="link" href="glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS" title="NULL"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> for this. </p></td> <td class="parameter_annotations"><span class="annotation">[<acronym title="NULL may be passed as the value in, out, in-out; or as a return value."><span class="acronym">nullable</span></acronym>]</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="parameter_name"><p>dll_name</p></td> <td class="parameter_description"><p>The name of a DLL that a package provides in UTF-8, or <a class="link" href="glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS" title="NULL"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>. </p></td> <td class="parameter_annotations"><span class="annotation">[<acronym title="NULL may be passed as the value in, out, in-out; or as a return value."><span class="acronym">nullable</span></acronym>]</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> </div> <div class="refsect3"> <a name="g-win32-get-package-installation-directory.returns"></a><h4>Returns</h4> <p> a string containing the installation directory for <em class="parameter"><code>package</code></em> .

The function looks up the directory that DLL was loaded from. If <em class="parameter"><code>hmodule</code></em> is NULL, the directory the main executable of the current process is looked up. If that directory's last component is "bin" or "lib", its parent directory is returned, otherwise the directory itself.</p> <p>It thus makes sense to pass only the handle to a "public" DLL of a software package to this function, as such DLLs typically are known to be installed in a "bin" or occasionally "lib" subfolder of the installation folder. DLLs that are of the dynamically loaded module or plugin variety are often located in more private locations deeper down in the tree, from which it is impossible for GLib to deduce the root of the package installation.</p> <p>The typical use case for this function is to have a <code class="function">DllMain()</code> that saves the handle for the DLL.
