Title
Body
I have made a Windows Service that gets installed in a c:\Program Files\My Service directory. Along with the executable, I have an XML file that gets installed in the same directory. This XML file is used by the service to get user defined information. In the code of the service I read the file as if it were local to the executable.. example: DataSet ds = new DataSet(); ds.ReadXml("Foo.xml"); However, when I run the service, the service throws an exception saying: Could not find file 'C:\Windows\system32\Foo.xml' Since the executable lives in c:\Program Files\My Service I expected the Windows Service to look for the XML file in c:\Program Files\My Service\Foo.xml . Obviously, that's not the case. How can I force the service to look (relatively) for the Foo.xml file in the same location where the service executable lives?
