My application works great in debug mode but crashes after deplying it on localhost (for testing purposes)

And the error message indicates that the path is invalid…
And the first thing i don’t get is why the directory is invalid..
I read it with:

Application.StartupPath & "\Images\"

C:\Documents and Settings\george\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\TRWYPDB1.7AD\JV28ARZ2.0NT\web..tion_864dd297f96a940b_0001.0000_f9d0072f76933330\Images

So in which directory of windows (ANY VERSION) it is the best practice to download and extract a zip file, containing images? The images will be used in each time my application starts.

C:\Documents and Settings\george\Local Settings\Temp

C:\Temp

or what?

    You’ll always want to use System.IO.Path.GetTempPath in .NET. Who’s to say what version of Windows your user is running, let alone if it’s even English? Let the API take care of finding the temporary directory.
