Original EXE Path (not the TEMP run-path)

[Intrigued]

Note from author: This function will allow you to code into your application a way to get the path to where the AMS 5 created application (aka. executable, .exe) is located. Do not confuse this with the "temp" (aka. temporary) run-from (as I call it) location!

[color=#006600]--[[ NOTE:  This function only works AFTER you Build (F7) the project!

     The following function takes one argument (runexe = path and name of .exe)...
     and returns one string (strPath = the path of...
     the location of the .exe), NOT the temp ran-from location!
]][/color]

function fnEXEOrigLoca(runexe)
	resFile = File.Run(runexe, "", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false)
	
	strCWF = Folder.GetCurrent()
		strPath = String.Replace(_CommandLineArgs[1], "SFXSOURCE:", "", true)
			return strPath;
end

[color=#006600]-- An example "function call" (to use the function)[/color]
fnEXEOrigLoca(_DesktopFolder.."\\app_name.exe")

    [color=#006600]-- This Message box can be removed (it's just for visual feedback)[/color]
	Dialog.Message("", strPath)

This will do the trick if you pass commands to the SFX at runtime:

-- MySFXApp full folder path
local ncnt = Table.Count(_CommandLineArgs);
	for n, cmline in _CommandLineArgs do
		if (n == ncnt) then
		strSFXmid = String.Mid(_CommandLineArgs[n], 11, -1); -- return string to right of SFXSOURCE:
		strSFXApPath = String.SplitPath(strSFXmid).Drive..String.SplitPath(strSFXmid).Folder;
		Dialog.Message("Debug Only Notice", strSFXApPath);
		end
	end

When passing commands the 'SFXSOURCE:' is the last in
the _CommandLineArgs table.

Alright then!
