[Solved] GetCurrentDir is giving me location of my shortcut

[nikel]

Hello, I'm trying to get my executeble's location. I had been using GetCurrentDir command, I compiled it as msi and installed it. The desktop shortcut is giving me this folder: C:\Users\User\Desktop

How can I get location of my executable?

GetCurrentDir returns current working directory. For the actual location you can use ParamStr(0):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. ExtractFileDir(ParamStr(0))

If on Windows, you can also use GetModuleFileName:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. var
2.   s: string;
3.  
4. begin
5.   setlength(s, 500);
6.   setlength(s, GetModuleFileName(0, @s[1], length(s)));
7.   writeln('GetModuleFileName = ', ExtractFileDir(s));
