GetModuleBaseName dosen't take char* parameter

Question

I got this code:

DWORD64 GetModuleBase(HANDLE hProc, string &sModuleName)//For 64bit process
{
HMODULE *hModules;
hModules = 0;
char szBuf[50];
DWORD cModules = 0;
DWORD64 dwBase = 0;

EnumProcessModules(hProc, hModules, 0, &cModules);
hModules = new HMODULE[cModules / sizeof(HMODULE)];

if (EnumProcessModules(hProc, hModules, cModules / sizeof(HMODULE), &cModules)) {
    for (int i = 0; i < cModules / sizeof(HMODULE); i++) {
        if (GetModuleBaseName(hProc, hModules[i], szBuf, sizeof(szBuf))) {
            if (sModuleName.compare(szBuf) == 0) {
                dwBase = (DWORD64)hModules[i];
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

delete[] hModules;

return dwBase;
}

that fails on this line telling me that char* is incompatible with LPWSTR

if (GetModuleBaseName(hProc, hModules[i], szBuf, sizeof(szBuf))) {

I've been using it in another project for a long time and it was working fine, but I recently moved to a fresh one and I'm getting this issue. Not sure what to do. Adding (LPWSTR) next to szbuf just makes the dll crash.

I'm using VS 2013

Answer 1

Try using GetModuleBaseNameA (add "A" to the tail) instead.

GetModuleBaseNameA explicitly use ANSI characters in contrast to GetModuleBaseName, which is a macro to be GetModuleBaseNameA or GetModuleBaseNameW.
