can't be converted from 'std::string' to 'LPCSTR'

[AndreGS]

Im trying to make a file downloader with customizable path but i can't get it working

 string path;
getline (cin, path);

URLDownloadToFile(NULL,"http://parenelbullying.org/test/illuminati.exe",path,NULL,NULL);

(I translated the error code because the original version was in Spanish)

Error C2664 'HRESULT URLDownloadToFileA(LPUNKNOWN,LPCSTR,LPCSTR,DWORD,LPBINDSTATUSCALLBACK)': argument 3 can't be converted from 'std::string' to 'LPCSTR' Project1

The Windows API is designed with a C interface and doesn't understand C++'s std::string type. You just need to use path.c_str() in your call to URLDownloadToFile.
