Get the default application path

[enigmaos]

How do I get the default application path for a service?

Application.StartupPath does not work.

[DSJ]

application.ExecutablePath maybe?

[enigmaos]

Application doesn't work in service.

The application object probably doesn't work becuase the service actually runs under the Service Control Manager.

There may be an easier way (and there probably is), but when you register your service, an entry in made in the registry that has the path to the executable. You could try reading from the registry.

Give this a whirl:

MsgBox(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
