Wrong output for CurentDirectory

Ok my app is deployed to C:/CompanyName/ProductName/

When I check curent dir on my developing machine by using My.Computer.FileSystem.CurentDirectory im getting path to corect location of my app

Now when I deploy app to Win XP POS, and same app outputs my curebt directory im getting this: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\ well that basically MyDocumments any one knows what is going on and why it goes there

And mainly how to fix that

PS: Another thing to mention is that my app runs as alternated windows shell (I've seet it in admin template to run as alternative interace and not to load regular shell)

Hi,

Does your application open/save files

When using a DialogBox to open/save a file, it changes the currentdirectory to the directory where you have opened the file.

tempgp,

Except the My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory, I suggest you to use the ClickOnce technology newly added in .NET Framework 2.0 and learn how to deployment your assembly. The followings steps shows the way:
1. Copy Assembly_X to Server_A, Server_B, and Server_C. Place the assembly in a folder such as C:\My BizTalk Assemblies on each server.
2. On Server_A, install Assembly_X into the common Configuration database using one of the deployment tools.
3. On Server_B and Server_C, from the Visual Studio .NET 2003 command prompt, type the command:
  <path>gacutil.exe /if "<path to AssemblyX>"
  
  Note By default, the gacutil.exe is located in <drive>\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Bin.
4. Additionally, you must run gacutil.exe on Server_A if you have not already installed in the GAC during deployment.
