save xml file where the setup installed.

Question

I want to save my xml file where the setup installed.

Amit Gupta · Answer

@Jeegen If you are creating xml file from your application itself then you should use Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath), this will get you the path of the executable. Or If your xml file is an external file then while creating setup, add your xml file to Application Folder Good Luck!
