What is difference between File.Exists(“”) and FileInfo exists

Question

I have an *.exe file in \\ProgramFiles(x86)\\MyAppFolder.

In x86 application I check if the file exists (64 bit system). simple:

bool fileExists = File.E         


        

Answer 1

in your first case, the file path is incorrect, you need spaces in "Program Files (x86)".

Secondly, the Path.Combine will return a Directory path so you'll end up with something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\MyAppFolder\Manager.exe\" so it's a bad idea.

Both methods work the same way, so make sure you check that the path is correct.
