Deploy WindowsApplication with data files

[bachelortudelft]

Hi,

I've written an Windows Application which uses a XML-file and a
directory 'Images'. These two items are currently (during debugging)
placed in the \bin\Debug directory. Now I want to deploy my app so
others can install and use it, but the problem is that I don't know how
to include the XML-file and subdirectory. I want to place them on the
users harddisk (somewhere the user can reach them) because they are
needed after my app has been used. Anyone a solution?

Thanks,

Marije

Suggest that you create a Setup Application added to your solution and
include these folders / files in it. When the user runs the MSI setup,
everything will go where you designed it to go, and you can have desktop
shortcuts and Start Menu items as well for a professional installation.
