Question

I have a folder in c:\program files(x86)\company\application\ which contains all the app files.

How can I get the path like C:\program files(x86)\company?

I cannot use Application.Startuppath as it will return c:\program files)x86)\company\application.

Thanks.

Use Directory.GetParent(string path)

In your app include System.IO namespace

using System.IO;

and use

string desired_path = Directory.GetParent(Application.StartupPath);
                       // will return c:\program files(x86)\company
        // because app path will have c:\program files(x86)\company\application\
