Below is the solution,but it will work after publish

Dim instance As System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment

lblServer.Text = instance.CurrentDeployment.UpdateLocation.AbsoluteUri.ToString()

You'll have to supply more detail.

This is a Setup project or a ClickOnce?

The installation for the .NET Framework, is that what you mean?

its a ClickOnce deployment,i am talking about the application path where application is published i need this path at runtime.

You can get to the top level of the deployment by looking for the location of the executable.

System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath.

(I'm assuming you meant programmatically.)

Hi RobinS

no i am talking about the path whereapplication is published i.e.

Publish Location

\\mattimore\Shared\publish\

Installation URL

\\mattimore\Shared\publish\

i need this path on run time,these path we mentioned under Project Properties then under Publish

You can't get that programmatically. Why do you want to?
