But i running after the installing the my application, the GCD function does n't return the path. for eq, if installed in "D:\program files\MyApp\App", it is giving the path as "D:\Documents and Settings\username". how to i get it?

If u are doing like this, u have to get the path from GetModuleFileName and set working folder in program. Is it better to specify the working folder in the link (windows shortcut) itself? - NS -
