I'm developing a .Net-application that would deploy a dacpac on a client machine. For that purpose I would require SqlPackage.exe to deploy the dacpac. I need a absolute path of SqlPackage.exe to make my application work irrespective of client's machine configuration.
Can you please help me to achieve this.
Thanks, Yogesh

In my case, the executable file for the SQLPackage is usually located at “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DAC\bin“. Once the path has been added click on OK. Now that the path of the executable has been added to the system variables, we can directly call the SQLPackage from the command-line.
The SqlPackage tool is installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DAC\bin. The script uses sqlcmd and SqlPackage tool; make sure that the path variable is updated accordingly. Restore he database using import action type.
The SqlPackage.exe publish operation incrementally updates the schema of a target database to match the structure of a source database. Publishing a deployment package that contains user data for all or a subset of tables update the table data in addition to the schema.
You can install sqlpackage.exe in two ways:
VS Install Directory\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\DAC\{SqlVersion}, VS install directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio {VsVersion}.0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\{SqlVersion}\Dac\bin
SqlVersion is 140 for the SQL Server 2017, 130 for the SQL Server 2016 etc.
VsVersion is 14 for Visual Studio 2017

To find sqlpackage programmatically you can make use of the TaskModuleSqlUtility powershell library. Either run the Invoke-DacpacDeployment from the powershell script (sorry not C#) or make use of Get-SqlPackageOnTargetMachine function for sqlpackage.exe path.
Search for tests in github for samples.
