Welcome to StackOverflow! Please show what you've tried and clarify what exactly you want: "startup path" or "assembly location"?

So of course it is the same. the StartupPath is not the path of the assembly, but the working directory from which the app got started. So if your App2 does not change it's working directory, App1 has the same startuppath.

So of course it is the same. the StartupPath is not the path of the assembly, but the working directory from which the app got started. So if your App2 does not change it's working directory, App1 has the same startuppath.

You can get the directory of the currently executing assembly with this:
string assemblyPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
GetExecutingAssembly() returns the currently executing assembly and Location is the full path or UNC path of that assembly.
Path.GetDirectoryName() returns the directory of a full path.
Note that the assembly's path is not the same as the startup path. The startup path is the working directory from which you started an application. And if your app does not change it's working directory, all apps started by the first app will have the same startup path.
