Extra Files When VB Project Packaged....

[dodgyone]

Along with the VB project I'm creating I also have an ini file and a log .txt file which the applicaiton will write to...

While I'm in design mode I've placed these in C:\Windows (As this is a standard area on most PC's) and they are edited from there...

When you package the project (a long way away for me ;o) is there a way to include these files and then place them in a certain area on installation (i.e. C:\Windows) so that your code can write to/edit the files...?

Sorry... but I'm pretty new with VB....

Thanks...

if using the package and deployment wizard or visual studio installer definately possible, simple wizard give it a look.

It might be better to store "your" extra files in your Application Path during deployment and use App.Path to access them.
strLogFile = App.Path & "\log.txt"
In the package and deployment wizard one window allows you to add files and a later one lets you specify the detination on the target machine in generic terms e.g. $AppPath.
