How to configure to use local storage?

[j_alza]

Hello,

I'm upgrading one of my projects from VS2005 to VS2013. I have a setup project in my solution, but this is no longer supported and I have to change to InstallShield deployment project. With the old setup project my app runs fine, but now with InstallShield I have a problem. I install the application in this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\AppName. I use .config file to read and write some parameters. Reading parameters goes well, but when I write new values in the .config file a get one error. When I used the old setup project, at writing time the system created new .config file in C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\AppName (local storage).

This is the exception:

Exception messsage:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\AppName\oy25i1se.tmp' is denied. (C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\AppName\ExeFile 1.0.192b.exe.config)

Any sugestions?

Thank you,

Finally I have used .settings file instead of .config file to solve this problem.
