Try this  My Application Info DirectoryPath  MSDN   This is using the My feature of VB NET  This particular property is available for all non-web project types  since  NET Framework 2 0  including Console Apps as you require   As long as you trust Microsoft to continue to keep this working correctly for all the above project types  this is simpler to use than accessing the other  more direct  solutions   Dim appPath As String   My Application Info DirectoryPath
