Dear Anders,

Thank you for your query.

However, please invest a miniimum of effort searching for an answer yourself before submitting the question here.

Every single sample that implements an external application with a custom ribbon panel demonstrates how to do this, for example here:

https://github.com/jeremytammik/ThinLines/blob/master/ThinLinesApp.cs#L98

  PushButtonData buttonThin = new PushButtonData( 
    buttonThinName, buttonThinName, 
    System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location, 
    typeof( Command_ThinLines ).FullName );

You can simply store the path like this:

  Assembly exe = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
  string path = exe.Location;

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Jeremy
