Need some advice on my Deployment Pkg

[Jim Richards]

Hello. Using XP Pro w/SP4 and VS 2003. I wrote my program with the
connection string and the path for loading the Maps as follows:
C:\MVB.NDbProJim\Ch7\ROE6AllRecords2\Maps. The Maps sub-directory containes
all 116 Maps of the Lots and also the ROE6.mdb database. But when I deplay
this app to my other PC it gets an error that this path is invalid so it
cannot even load the database.
Since the MSI installs this package to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\ROE6 I
decided to have the Maps subdirectory relocated to this Path. I had to
change (in my program) the Connection String and all the 116 paths for it
to load the Maps but it now works just fine on the other PC.
I must have missed something because it is unreasonable to have to keep the
support files at the same location on my PC as the installer is going to use
on the target PC.
Any words of wisdom to get me straightened out? TIA, Jim

Therefore are the applicationname.exe.config files.

Thank you Cor Ligthert but I don't understand what you are telling me. Could
you please restate it in plain simple newbie style? I am not smart enough to
understand your "Words of Wisdom". TIA and have a good day. Jim
