Zero-Deployment issue: winform app cannot read the .config file

I have a trivial winform application that I try to launch from web browser.
It appears that it fails to execute the following code:

_currentConfig = (CityLightsConfigSettings)ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig(
CityLightsConfigSection );

This is a standard call that is used when one needs to acces config section
in the app.config file. The thing is that the call doesn't throw any
exceptions but _currentConfig is null after the call. I thought that this
would work just fine with zero-deployment but it doesn't work. I can run the
application locally without any problems and the code works just fine. I even
gave full trust to the assembly but it didn't make any difference.
I would appreciate any suggestions on this.

Thanks,
Norton.
 
Hi Neno,

Thanks for replying to my post. I tried what the article suggests but the
thing is that when I tried to acces the app.config file directly from the
browser, I don't get any access denied messages; The browser renders my
..config file just fine. But when I try to run my application, it fails to
read the config section in app.config.
Like I mentioned before, I don't get any exceptions or errors when it fails
to read, just that ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig() returns null.
