I wrote several times that I want determine application directory under Windows only. Unix version will store its config in predefined location, in /etc. Anyway, one not subscribed man wrote me about special library to solve this problem - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/executable-path On Fri

'FindBin' is also useful. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/FindBin While System.Directory is quite useful, it doesn't contain a function to obtain the directory in which the running program lives. You can get the current (working) directory (e.g. unix's 'getpwd'), and you can try to find

Thanks, but my program will be distributed in self-made installer (on windows), though I'm using cabal and the sources are GPL-licensed. Just for users' convenience :) On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 09:42:45AM -0800, Thomas DuBuisson wrote: > Other responses have been great but if you are cabalizing you

Program directory is not system directory. So it doesn't have CSIDL. Program directory is the folder where executable file is located. I certainly remember that there is a way to get it without, for example, setting it in registry during install... On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 12:31:19PM -0500, Rahul K

Hi, I'm writing cross-platform application in Haskell which should be running under Windows and Linux. Under Linux configuration is stored in the /etc directory, and under Windows configuration is meant to be in the application directory. So, is there a way to get an application directory path unde
