How can I get the absolute path of program I'm running?
See Question&Answers more detail:osFor that you can use the Application
object.
Startup path, just the folder, use Application.StartupPath()
Dim appPath As String = Application.StartupPath()
Full .exe path, including the program.exe name on the end:, use Application.ExecutablePath()
Dim exePath As String = Application.ExecutablePath()
