path of a process or service

[wheels619]

Hi,
I need the directory of a running process or service's executable. Any
ideas how to do this?

I looked up some Win APIs but none to accomplish this task.

I noticed there is a .StartInfo.WorkingDirectory in the process object
but it is always empty. I would think that the working dir would be the
same as the EXE if not defined.

System.Diagnostics.Process.MainModule.FileName

The only option I see in C# is
string AppPath = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath;
MessageBox.Show(AppPath);

I think you can google and find better option if this doesn't work.

The current process?
Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName;

Environment.CommandLine has full path and exe name in it.
