Environment.CurrentDirectory changes after publishing the application

I'm using my application in Release folder output and i create several folders in Release folder where my running exe belongs.

and i have lots of Path directions like below;

 Dim dbDir As String = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, My.Settings.str__data_dir, My.Settings.str__data_db)

Open in new window


all my Environment.CurrentDirectory returns different location after i published it and open there.

Is there a way to define these directories? Any help would be grateful.

Thanks.

Nothing would prevent you from using the Environment.CurrentDirectory; value in your setup. Even the free NSIS setup compiler would support it. You can always copy whats needed on setup or other..
