You can use Application.ExecutablePath property

Gets the path for the executable file that started the application, including the executable name.

You can use Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly():

var location = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

i do this like, just make a folder call it Resources and add the image files in it and retrieve it like this and finally add the Resources folder while making setup. I found this easy.

Image imageNormal = Image.FromFile("Resources\\button_Image.png");
controlName.Image = imageNormal;

It's very Easy , Try the following code AppDomain.CurrentDomain .BaseDirectory

You can try this code to get iamges

 Image.FormFile("Imagename.jpeg" )

this code itself located the application direcotry for example if you write Image.FromFile("Imagename.jpeg") then it will retrive images in bin folder,
