SetUP and Deployment projects
I want to create install package that contains an .INI file has the path of the installed components in it.
e.g. Example.INI contains the following line in text
INPUT=C:\program files\Myapp\Input
Output=C:\program files\Myapp\output
The path must be dynamic to match the dynamic install path set at installation. What is the easiest way to do this?. Any ideas?

It doesn't sound like you need an INI file; you can simply obtain the location of the application at runtime and append "input" and "output" to the path:
Dim AppPath As String = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory()
Dim Input As String = AppPath & "input"
Dim Output As String = AppPath & "output"

I agree (that is the correct .net solution), if it was that simple. I don't like to have to use an .INI file to identify locations, but unfortunately this .INI is part of a previous architecture use by a C program that I can't make any changes to. Originally the .INI was built by Wise Installer that would generate it with the right paths
