How to reference/store assemblies from relative path

I am working on windows application . Please find below the probing of private path in appconfig

<probing privatePath="%PROGRAMFILES%\Temp\"/>

I want the dll's to be referenced to \Users\xxxx\AppData instead of probing.

How can i changes this logic to store/reference the dll's from relative path.

. I am new to dotnet & windows application .

The above application will be installed in client machine in Windows 10 OS & the dll's will be copied to program files application path , Since users have permission issues for storing the dll's with this path. We want to change the location of dll's to appdata path( \User\xxxx\AppData ) so that with normal account application can be installed.

Can it be possible to have logic which is generic & to reference the assembly from generic path & not to hard code the path of the assembly in app config .

Please let me know your suggestion.

Thanks in advance.

Hi TechSavvy,

In this case , you have user permission issues, to solve this problem you need to add Admin permission when install the software .

In Application manifest file you edit this line ,
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>

thats all. i hope your UAC issue will be solved.

Thanks.
