Hi,
How can I obtain the full path for a running process without using WMI? I've tried to use the Process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory but it's not valid since the process is already running.

Thanks,
 
Christopher,

are you looking for Application.ExecutablePath Property or something else?

System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationPath

[..or..]

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location

I'm searching for the WorkingDirectory of all the currently-running
processes on a machine.

Environment.CurrentDirectory

sorry for the confusion, I believe that's what you're looking for.

Hi,

I think that WMI is the only way then , but I'm not 100% sure of it. Do a
google search

Cheers,

Take a look also at ProcessModule class and its FileName property. You can
obtain it with Process.MainModule property.

AlexS, thanks for your solution. Infact Process.MainModule does what I've
been looking for.
