Where to put the app.config file in Windows 7
Hi!
We are currntly lifting an old Win XP application to Windows 7. In the old app, the app.config files are placed in program files folder, but due to the policies in Window s7, that is no longer an option. I have read the documentation, and it seems as if Microsoft want us to put the config file under c:\users\[user]\Appdata\myapp\myconfig file
The users must be able to edit the file frequently, BUT I don't want it to be unique to each logge din user, since this is a shared workstation they run the app under, the config file must be shared between all users, but they log in with their own user name.
I have not found a satisfactory answer as to where I put the config file? There is "c:\users\All users" folder, but this seems to be a junciton for backwards compatibility, and points to c:\programdata. Is this the folder to use? what is the %% variable for that path?
Kind regards
Henrik
