HI!

I am too struggling with GetLastError().

I am not using the Kernel32 class from the examples, but my own. I tried to define the return type as NativeLong and as int with no difference. I always get 0 from GetLastError(), where I get for example "5" in C.

Relevant bits:

Java: Pointer handle; handle = getServiceHandle("localhost", WINNT.GENERIC_EXECUTE);

public static Pointer getServiceHandle(String machine, long access) throws Exception { Pointer handle; Advapi32 advapi32; WString machineW; NativeLong accessNL; int lastError;

advapi32 = Advapi32.INSTANCE;

machineW = new WString(machine); accessNL = new NativeLong(access); Kernel32.INSTANCE.GetLastError(); handle = advapi32.OpenSCManagerW(machineW, null, accessNL); lastError = Kernel32.INSTANCE.GetLastError();

if(handle == null) { throw new Exception("Win32 error: " + lastError); } return(handle); }

C: printf("%ld\n", OpenSCManagerW(L"localhost", NULL, GENERIC_EXECUTE)); printf("%ld\n", GetLastError());

Thanks!

Thomas
