SUMMARY
You can find out which directory holds the Visual FoxPro Application .exe file from within the application. SYS(2004) and HOME() both return the location of the .esl library file but not the location of the .exe file. Visual FoxPro places the .esl file in the \Windows\System directory so that a single file can support several .exe files. You can use SYS(16) to return the location and the name of the currently running program (.exe file).
MORE INFORMATION
You can try this by building an .EXE from the following program:
*Begin program
CLEAR
?"SYS(2004) =" + SYS(2004)
?
?"HOME() = " + HOME()
?
?"SYS(16) = " + SYS(16)
WAIT
*End program
