in thread Current Directory in Windows

I'm curious as to how a .msi will help here. I mean, as far as I can see, whether I install it using a .msi file or just pass the .exe file to the user, it won't change the fact that I cam getting the current WORKING directory and not the current directory as I wanted. Can you please elaborate?

And kudos to the two Anonymous monks, that was exactly what I was looking for. Sorry if the query was vague....

    The .MSI provides an idiot gui to install things.

    I distribute my code in .zip files with instructions in a ReadMe file. Mileage varies.

    more complex things are required if you need to modify the path or the Windows Registry and become one of the programs that Windoze can uninstall.

    There is no need to make a Microsoft Installer if all you have is a single .exe file.
