Deploy user.config file

Question

Hello guys, I'm having problems deploying a config file.

I have a set of default configurations, which are altered at the moment of installation (custom installer class).

But strangely, my settings keep being reset. In VS2005 all settings are defined with default value, but it's just not getting into my deploy software.

What can i do?

Thanks!

Could it be that you are somehow altering the wrong user.config file?

Each new version of your application gets a new folder under the folder below (Windows 7):

C:\Users>username>\AppData\Local\\App.exe_Url_fdtzgjq\

Each subfolder contains a separate user.config:

• \0.5.0.0\user.config
• \0.9.0.0\user.config
• \1.0.0.0\user.config

etc.
