How can i find the current physical path where a custom windows service, resides?

Question

Hi folks,

i have installed my own custom Windows Service. I need to find out the physical path, where the service exists.

eg.

log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(
    new System.IO.FileInfo(<insert path here> + "log4net.config"));

Any ideas?

Answer 1

System.Environment.CurrentDirectory?

Actually the above doesn't work but this does:

string servicePath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(
    System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

Answer 2

Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
