Are you sure your using vb6?

In vb6 App.Path=path here exe was executed from. vb.net is different and sounds more like what your describing.

yes i using vb6 not vb.net

ha i knew i wasnt the only person with this issue!

I uninstalled/reinstalled vb suite to get app.path to work correctly.

Very odd...Mine has always worked correctly

It does seem flakey with RRPlugins though. ie whilst when it first starts it will actually contain the path the app (plugin is in) it will later on pick up either RR' path, the skin path or some other path, that is why I stick it in a variable when it first starts now.

Well....as I've said, I've never had a problem with the app.path thing..

And with the upcomming plugin std change, plugins won't be storing any data in their folder (like they are not supposed to accod to win stds).....TBC

never had a app.path issue myself, but as mentioned above, it does reflect the location where the application is running from, NOT where the EXE is saved.

i have solved the app.path problem
but now i have this new problem:

i have thios in my code
Public Declare Sub SetMute Lib "usbsilabs.dll" (ByVal mute As Boolean)

the plugin is running into riderunner but don't load the ussbsilabsdll
some other command of the same plugin works perfectly
