How to find windows service exe path

Question

I have a windows service and I need to create directory to store some info. The directory path must be relative to the windows service exe file. How can get this exe file pa

Answer 1

Instead of using a directory relative to the executable, and therefore needing admin privileges, why not use the common application data directory, which is accessible through

Environment.GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData)

This way your app doesn't need write access to its own install directory, which makes you more secure.
