Updated Code 
AfxGetApp()->m_pszExeName; // Get the "MyExe" portion of "MyExe.exe". Or, "MyDll" if RunDll32 is used.

dllName.Append( ".exe" ); // Now has "MyExe.exe" (or "MyDll.dll").

HMODULE hmod = GetModuleHandle(dllName);  

CString fullPath;
DWORD pathLen = ::GetModuleFileName( hmod, fullPath.GetBufferSetLength(MAX_PATH+1), MAX_PATH); // hmod of zero gets the main EXE
fullPath.ReleaseBuffer( pathLen ); // Note that ReleaseBuffer doesn't need a +1 for the null byte.

char    szAppPath[MAX_PATH] = "";
::GetModuleFileName(0, szAppPath, MAX_PATH); // get path

// Extract name
CString strAppName;
strAppName = szAppPath;
strAppName = strAppName.Right(strAppName.ReverseFind('\\') + 1);
