I'm not sure exactly what you're seeing, but in case it helps, here's a
function that I sometimes use in console apps. Note that I don't know
whether the work-around mentioned in this code is still needed in
2007R1. Perhaps you can do something similar (checking DebugBuild if
necessary).
Function Folder() As FolderItem
// Return the folder containing this application, in such a way
// as to work on both MacOS and Linux.
#if TargetMacOS
// crawl up out of our package on Mac OS... and work around the bug
in 2006R4:
Dim f As FolderItem = App.ExecutableFile
if not f.Directory then f = f.Parent
f = f.Parent
#else
Dim f As FolderItem = GetFolderItem( "" )
#endif
return f
End Function
