You can use

Dim strPath As String = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( _ System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase) to get Executable directory when app runs and store into registery or some where else. Ref.

or

Ask user to locate executable during 1st run and save location to some place
