_SourceFolder ???

[Jason Pate]

:huh _SourceFolder is giving me a temp folder under the document and settings under the current users, not the actually folder that I ran the program from????? How can I get the program that I actaully ran the application from?

Hi. That is the folder where your program is running from. For example if you are publishing to a single file compressed .exe, it will extract to a folder first and then run from there... Hope that helps.

Any way I can get the location that the orginal exe opened from? I am trying to save a INI file that I can load settings from later on. I dont want to put in a Hard path, I was hoping to just put it in the same place as the exe. A temp folder might not be there next time the application goes to run.

I think u built using the (compressed exe) option,that option normally run the autoplay.exe from the temp folder.

Try to put it in the (doc folder in the resource section0

Just drag & deop the file into the resource viewer

Sorry (Corey) I didn't know that u posted before me ;)

[Jason Pate]

Thank you Kind Sir, that was totally my problem.

I will be saving stuff into the ini file during runtime and later recalling them. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help aelsharawi. :)

Hi Jason. Simply write persistent values to the registry using the registry actions:

I was thinking of that, but user might not have rights to registry:) I changed my build option and that had done the trick for me.

Perfect! :)
