How can I add the application settings to my installer in a WPF project?
I do have a C# (WPF)-Application whith several application settings, generated in the Visual Studio 2010. With the "Advanced Installer" I would like to create an installer-setup in order to install my application to any PC.
Therefore I add to the installer the application.exe file from my release folder. After installation on a different PC I can not find the application settings which were generated in VS before. My question is now, which file(s) I need to add to my installer-package in order to see the application settings after installation?
Thanks in advance!
Application Scope Settings are persisted in the applications config file. It is located in the applications output directory and called [ApplicationName].exe.config. This is probably the one you want.
User scope settings are persisted in the file User.config in the users settings folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Local Settings\Application Data\[ApplicationName]
Vista and Windows 7, 8:
C:\Users\[UserName]\Local Settings\Application Data\[ApplicationName]
If you need to add the user config file to the installer package, make sure to use the correct directory in advanced installer. A helpful list is here. Use Local application data, create a subfolder with your app name there and add user.config to this folder:
