  • It sounds like you are deploying this exe to a user-PC and want to modify the config settings.

    • To deploy it remotely you can use PSExec
    • To edit it remotely, you can use xmlpoke to get the config settings and update it. Make sure the location is shared and the Nant script can modify the file. Example \\user-PS\application_name\app.config
