Thanks for the prompt reply! Actually the user.config file i'm pursuing is not
created by me, but by my application indirectly. It is located at the following
location
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application
Data\AppName\AppName.exe_Url_nwloh0orpe4wmpsnqif2ub50jv0gpgwy\1.0.0.0\user.config
where this can be formalized to:
<c:\Documents and Settings>\<username>\[Local Settings\]Application
Data\<companyname>\<appdomainname>_<eid>_<hash>\<verison>. Where:
* <c:\Documents and Settings> is the user data directory, either
non-roaming
(Local Settings above) or roaming.
* <username> is the user name.
* <companyname> is the CompanyNameAttribute value, if available.
Otherwise,
ignore this element.
* <appdomainname> is the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName. This
usually
defaults to the .exe name.
* <eid> is the URL, StrongName, or Path, based on the evidence
available to
hash.
* <hash> is a SHA1 hash of evidence gathered from the CurrentDomain, in
the
following order of preference:
1. StrongName
2. URL
If neither of these is available, use the .exe path.
* <version> is the AssemblyInfo's AssemblyVersionAttribute setting.
Now it is this user.config file i'm after. Does WIX support retrieving the
location of this file?
For further information about this config file one can visit this
