Dim appPath As String ' Application Start Path

And I think you need:
Imports System.IO

You were doing really well up to the ExecutablePath property :-)
However, rather than manually parsing out the directory name, you might want
to consider using the System.IO.Path class instead.
There are occassions where your parsing can fail - for example, if the
application was run from a URL.

a dumb question i had on my mind:
Say you have a dynamically created web page . Isn't it more secure to
write it in php since a visitor will not be able to tell it is
dynamically created? But if you write it in perl, you have to put it in
your cgi-bin which automatically means it's a dynamically generated
page? security by obscurity . Is this true or hardly means anything?
thx!

I have exhausted places to look for where "PYTHONPATH" is located..
In windows (using the DOS command) no such thing exist but path does.
I find no file with that name.
I have yet to find a config file that I would think might work as
PYTHONPATH.
What am I missing?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
