Question

I want to get application’s path in VirtualStore.

For example, the file which I need is in this directory (I’m getting this path from registry)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Example App\data.ini

How can I get this path?

C:\Users\User388\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Example App\data.ini

UPDATE:

This paths in not my application.

I asked how it possible to get path in app data when only know winodows username and path in program files

Answer 1

Assuming that Example App is the application running the code the first directory is retrieved using

string strFilePath = Path.Combine(Application.ExecutablePath, "Data.ini");

The second doesn’t at first glance look like a set location, but for this you can experiment with the Application and Environment classes. Try something like

string strFilePath = Path.Combine(Application.UserAppDataPath, "Data.ini");

I hope this helps.
