Sorry Gregory - yes it would have to be there, but the question is how do I get it there as part of the projectinstaller/installut<wbr />il installer.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi Gregory<br />
<br />
Sorry for the tardy response.<br />
<br />
I've ended up going the registry route, but thanks for the pointers, very useful couple of articles.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've got a windows service that installs fine using installutil.exe, but in the deployment I want to include a text file that's going to store a number of parameters that will change on each install.<br />
<br />
Maybe a text file isn't the best way of doing this, so am open to other ideas, but if it is, how do I get it to be installed as part of the deployment so that I can reference it as &quot;parameters.txt&quot; rather than &quot;c:\...\...\parameters.txt<wbr />&quot;?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
