Hi All

I want to get Installation Path when Setup Program run.

I create File System of ApplicationFolder in Setup Project.

1. ApplicationFolder \MyAppName\Maintainance\Apps\MyAppName.exe
2. ApplicationFolder \MyAppName\Maintanance\Components\COM\MyApp.dll

When the Setup Program run. User Type different Drive or Path to install.
I want want to get the installation path and combine with my my dll path to add Enviromental Varialbe Path.
Now i used the following code to get Enviromental Varialbe Path value.

IDictionary envVars = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables();
string DllPath = UserSelectedPath + @"MyAppName\Maintanance\Components\COM";
foreach (DictionaryEntry envVar in envVars)
{
if (envVar.Key.ToString() == "Path")
{
string EnVarVal = envVar.Value.ToString() + DllPath;
if (envVar.Value.ToString().Contains(DllPath) == false)
{
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", EnVarVal, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
}
}
}

I want to know 2 things..
1. How can I make to fire/run my code Component during setup program.
2. How can I get user selected/typed installation folder path.

Thanks

People have told me they have had issues with that method, mainly the GetExecutingAssembly() location being unreliable. The proper way to find the location of the Application Folder is to pass TARGETDIR via CustomActionData, as here:
