Creating file at a specific location inside windows store app installation folder

I am creating a Windows Store Javascript App. I want to create a file inside apps installation location.

I created uri:

var p = "ms-appx:///" + filepath;
var uri = new Windows.Foundation.Uri(p);

How to create a file at this uri??

I know how to create it inside apps installation folder but not inside any subfolders

var package = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.current;
var localFolder = package.installedLocation;    
localFolder.createFileAsync("dataFile.txt", Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.replaceExisting)
.

  • Just learnt that Apps don't have write access to their installed directory.
