it is very simple, just use Application.StartupPath property, it will give installed path
see below code snippet


string szPath = Application.StartupPath 
OR
string szPath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
OR
string szPath = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath
OR
string szPath  = IO.Path.GetFullPath(Application.ExecutablePath)
OR
string szPath  =Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);

Hi,
Use this:

 
string szAppInstalledDirectoryName = Application.ExecutablePath;
            szAppInstalledDirectoryName = szAppInstalledDirectoryName.Replace(szAppInstalledDirectoryName.Substring(szAppInstalledDirectoryName.LastIndexOf("\\")), "") + "\\";
            DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(szAppInstalledDirectoryName);
            FileInfo f = new FileInfo("D:\\abc.txt");
            f.MoveTo(dir.FullName);
