Returns the directory from which the execution is started.
WEBDEV - Server code Returns the runtime directory of the project. This directory must be accessible in read/write mode. In most cases, it contains the data files and the other files handled by the WEBDEV site.
Caution: fExeDir is used to find out the runtime directory while fCurrentDir is used to find out the current directory.
Example
// Runtime directory
Info("This application is started from " + fExeDir())
Syntax
<Result> = fExeDir()
<Result>: Character string
Directory from which the executable is run. This path does not end with the "\" character.
  • In test mode (GO from WINDEV), corresponds to:
    • the generation directory given in the description of the current project configuration.
    • the EXE subdirectory of the project directory.
  • At runtime, corresponds to the directory containing the current executable.
WEBDEV - Server code Runtime directory of the project. In test mode and in deployment (GO from WEBDEV), corresponds to the EXE subdirectory of the project directory.
AndroidAndroid Widget Installation directory of the application (in the internal storage area).
Universal Windows 10 App Data directory of the application.

SOAP server

When fExeDir is used on a SOAP server, it returns the path of the directory containing the library of the SOAP server being run.
WINDEVUser code (UMC)

Application used in Windows Vista (and later)

In Windows Vista (and later), the UAC mechanism implies some development constraints.
Therefore, the files used by the application (data files or INI files for example) should be stored in the specific directories of the application (and not in the directory of the executable). These directories are returned by fDataDirCommon, fDataDirUser, fGlobalDirCommon and fGlobalDirUser.

Path of a system directory

To find out the path of a system directory, use SysDir.
