Your problem has nothing to do with slashes vs. backslashes in path names. 
It seems to be a popular misconception among Win32 developers, that backslashes
are required; in fact *all* versions of Windows, and even MS-DOS since v2.x
before them, *natively* support the use of *both* slashes and backslashes. 
It is only command line tools designed for Microsoft's command interpreters,
and indeed these interpreters themselves, which, in trying to emulate Unix and
CP/M conventions simultaneously, get confused by slashes.

The problem you are observing is more typical of an attempt to access memory
via an unintialised pointer.  It's a bug in *your* code, and has nothing to
do with path name semantics.  You will have to debug it.

Regards,
Keith.
