Getting full path for Windows Service

Question

How can I find out the folder where the windows service .exe file is installed dynamically?

Path.GetFullPath(relativePath);

returns a path base

Answer 1

This works for our windows service:

//CommandLine without the first and last two characters
//Path.GetDirectory seems to have some difficulties with these (special chars maybe?)
string cmdLine = Environment.CommandLine.Remove(Environment.CommandLine.Length - 2, 2).Remove(0, 1);
string workDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(cmdLine);  

This should give you the absolute path of the executable.
