App.Path error?

Hi there,

I am getting some error when I am trying to use App.Path function.

Please give me some advice!

Best regards,
Viktor

I think it will be a good replacement for VB6 after a little improvements and minor bug fixes... :rolleyes:

Hi Viktor,
you seem to re-discover many of the pitfalls which have been discovered before.
Please use the search facility of this forum.

Manuel is aware of these shortcomings, but his to-do list is too long to get them resolved over night.

App.Path works for *.exe binaries but fails for *.jar and for IDE program executions.

And this is a good explanation, thanks! :thumbup:

App.Path = System.getProperty("user.dir")

Hi,

System.getProperty("user.dir")

delivers the path where the exe or jar resides. (with JDK: 1.6.0_18 now always and for ever I hope)

JDK: 1.6.0_18
