Geting Window Service Path with out Interop

[gordingin]

I need to get the path of a service in C#. Using C++, I can use
QueryServiceConfig() but I wish not to use Interop if I dont have to,
is there a way in C#?

thanks

Ralph,

This code should return the path & filename of the service executable, you
can use the Path class to parse out the lead-in path:

Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName

--Richard

You might also be able to use the entry point for the CLR, through the
static GetEntryAssembly method on the Assembly class (to get the entry
point), and then get the location of the assembly.

Hope this helps.
