C# code to find the full path of an executable file by searching the system's search paths.

https://github.com/sgrottel/FindExecutable

Example

FindExecutable is a static class with one public static method:

public static string? FullPath(
	string executable,
	bool includeCurrentDirectory = false,
	bool includeBaseDirectory = false,
	IEnumerable<string>? additionalPaths = null);

• executable -- The name of the executable to find.
• includeCurrentDirectory -- If set to true, the current execution directory is included in the list of search paths
• includeBaseDirectory -- If set to true, the application domain base directory is included in the list of search paths
• additionalPaths -- If set to something other then null, the paths iterated within are included in the list of search paths

The function will return the full file system path to the executable file requested, or null if the file is not found.
