Thanks.
No I don't want to do anything like that. I know better than that. I
need to be able to create a folder in the same location
that our app is stored at. I should say where our App bundle is
stored, not the actual exactable.
This is not the most ideal way to do this, but unfortunately this is
the way it has been done for years, and
they don't want to change it on our users at this time.
Thanks again. I did not think about NSBundle.
Thanks,

How can I find my applications directory that it was launched from?
Why do you want to know?
Typically people asking this question want to access the application
directory because either
1) They have resources stored there. This is bad. Resources should be
stored inside the application bundle.
or
2) Want to write a file there. This is bad. Your application might not
have privileges to write to the containing folder.
Anyway, you can get the path using NSBundle and walk back up the
heirarchy from there, should you find it absolutely necessary.
