Client-Path

Kromozone

Hi Experts,

how can i get the actual Path of the running Client in C/AL? Like App.Path in VB.

Thank you!

I might recommend reading out the windows registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Navision\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\W1 3.70

That was the key in my registry for my Navision 3.7 installation.
There is a Name called Path and the Data section contains the installation path.

Hope this helps.

A very good question

Too bad that there isn't any variable with this content

I only want to run a own EXE that was saved in the Client-Directoy.

Any alternative Ideas where i should save the EXE and can run it without any additional properties (Path to exe etc.)?

Thank you!

Move it into some folder, which is in Path OS variable (system dirs etc...) :-)

I know there is an automation that you can use for reading registry, I just cannot remember the name
