You're trying too hard:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(void)
{
     char pwd[FILENAME_MAX];

     if (chdir("d:/program files"))
         perror("d:/program files");
     else
         printf("No error reported from chdir.\n");
     if (getcwd(pwd, sizeof pwd))
         printf("current working directory is %s\n", pwd);
     else
         perror("getcwd failed.");
     return 0;
}
