Get Directory of Running Executable

[Guest]

It it possible to the directory that the executable is running from? At the
moment I've been trying to use...

Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

....but the problem with this is that if I have an installer that puts a
shortcut in the Start Menu it classes the current directory as the start menu
location rather than in c:\program files\blah. Is there any way around this?

Hi!

Either fix the installer to preset the working directory,
or use System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath).

You might want to try Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location property
in the System.Reflection namespace.

In addition to the other posters, Application::StartupPath also seems to
work.
