The GetCArrayFromISArray function returns a pointer to an array of pointers that point to the actual data of the specified array. This function does not allocate any additional memory, but it returns a pointer to the data in the existing array. If vArray is a string array, the returned pointer can be passed to functions that take LPCWSTR* or LPWSTR* arguments; if vArray is a numeric array, the returned pointer can be passed to functions that take LPCDWORD* or LPDWORD* arguments.

Additional Information
Be careful when using the returned pointer to modify strings that are contained in the array. The length of the strings that are contained in string arrays are managed internally by the installation. Therefore, if you change the length of a string, the installation is no longer able to manage the data that are contained in the string array.
