Getting current running addin location

[dsmith]

Hi

Simple question if I was asking about a windows Application, I need to find the install location of the addin dll.

So I need the equivalent of  Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

Thanks in Advance

You can see the install paths in the Add-in dialog!

Thanks But I need to get that within the addin itself.

on button press or how?

Use this than:

'Dim add As ApplicationAddIn = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.item(XXXXX)
Dim add As ApplicationAddIn = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.itemById(XXXXX)
'And use the ID from the add-in selves
MsgBox (add.Location)

@dsmith,

Are you looking for something like this:

Dim CurrentAssembly As System.Reflection.Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()

I use it in a version check button, and has a .Location Property "CurrentAssembly.Location"
