Package Manager Folder from Code

Is there a way to get the package manager folder path with Rhino SDK?

Is package manager able to install an .exe ?
My project require to send some run a test file through an executable and I am wondering if YAK will allow to release the tool by the package manager.

Thanks!

I’d recommend seeing if you can use a mechanism independent of the delivery method to locate the file being run and find the exe relative to that path. What programming language are you using to call the exe?

Hi Will.
I am using C#.

With Food4Rhino installing method, I was forcing the user to install the package in Libraries and it was easy for me to find the .exe.

If YAK can “install” the .exe, I’ll find a way to scan the user folder until I do not find the correct file :S
Do you have an alternative solution?

Hi @alpaca4d,

Your plug-in can get the path to itself like this:

var localDir = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

You can also use PlugIn.PathFromId.

From there, you should be able to find your .exe and run it.
