Satya,

You could use the SearchPath API as suggested by using platform
invoke. The following example shows how to find where notepad.exe
it located

public class Win32
{
private Win32()
{
}

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern uint SearchPath(string path,
string fileName, string extension, uint bufferLength,
StringBuilder buffer, out string filePart);
}

Then all you need to do it call the method and pass the desired parameters
such as

string part;
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder(512);
uint output = Class1.SearchPath(null, "notepad.exe", null,
(uint)buffer.Capacity, buffer, out part);
if( output != 0 )
Console.WriteLine(buffer.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();



Hope this helps,

//Andreas
