updating a connection string in the app.config on initial install [* Resolved *]

[steve_rm]

Hello

It is possible to update a app.config connection string from another application. Let me explain. I have published a project and created the normal deploy files and setup file. I want to create another project that once deployed and ran, will setup the connection string in the app.config in the first deployed project. And then it will call the setup to install the first project. I hope you understand.

The reason for this is that the customer would like to setup the connection string properties on their client machine during the install process, as they won't know which remote server the database they need to access until they install the program.

I am not sure if there is any other way you can do this, that would allow you to setup a connection string and update the app.config when installing.

I am using vb.Net 2005.

Thanks for your help,

Steve
