Editing App.config at Install Time?

[David P. Donahue]

My application uses a lot of string values in an app.config file,
several of which are file system paths. I'm wondering... is it possible
to have the installer for my application (just a standard Setup Project
in my solution) edit these path values to match the directory to which
the user installs it?

Or maybe there's another way to do this?

Hello, David!

DPD> Or maybe there's another way to do this?

You will have to develop installer custom action or Installer Class
Look at ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d9k65z2d.aspx )
