    Create an ini file in install location

    Hi All,

    i am doing a VB.NET 2.0 Windows Application.
    I want to create an ini file in the location where we are installing the application. the code that i wrote is

    Private Sub Installer1_AfterInstall(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Configuration.Install.InstallEventArgs) Handles MyBase.AfterInstall

    Dim iniPath As String
    Dim Asm As System.Reflection.Assembly =
    System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
    Dim configPath As String
    configPath = Asm.Location
    iniPath = configPath & "\MyiniFile.ini"
    WriteString("INSTALLDETAILS", "DATETIME", "datetime", iniPath)
    End Sub

    but its not working.

    Wouldn't that be your INSTALLER running? Why not just include a file in setup and deployment, or even click-once?
