I am writing a Windows Service in VB.Net, and right upfront I need to pass
the path to my config.xml file to the constructor of the class which reads
it. In the old days, App.Path & "\config.xm l" would have done nicely. I have
tried using Reflection.Asse mbly.GetExecuti ngAssembly.Loca tion but this is
horrible! I can't use the easy Application.Pat h property because it is a
service not a Forms application.
Is there a simple way to do this, or does anyone have any less than simple
but working code which might give me a clue?
Regards

Application.Sta rtupPath doesn't work for a Service, only a Forms App (I
think, I can't make it go anyway). HOWEVER I have now found the answer:

Hi,
I have a testservice.py (see below). I installed the Windows-Service
successfully. (via commandlineoption install)
The problem is that it runs only when it is in c:\windows\system32 or in
the python path.
I added the desired path (Y:\) to the PYTHONPATH environment variable
for the system account and rebooted.
When I start command line python and do a import testservice everything
is fine.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
