Determine working folder

[markstaylor]

If running my app as a compressed EXE, and using the Folder.GetCurrent I get the temp folder where the file is being run. How can I get the folder of the actual location where the app is located not running from (temp directory).

My app is installed user specific. There are external files that the app uses. I have even tried _SourceFolder with the same results.

I have seen other posts about the same thing but with no answer to my example.

I cannot write to the registry because this file can be used in many different locations.

Change out the information for your executable of course:

resFile = File.Run("AutoPlay\\Docs\\button.exe", "", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false)

strCWF = Folder.GetCurrent()
	strPath = String.Replace(_CommandLineArgs[1], "SFXSOURCE:", "", true)
		Dialog.Message("EXE Original Location!", strPath)

Not at all. I flustered about with this one for a bit myself.

Now, get that app. out the door! We have a deadline to meet!
