Plugin Setup/Installer

[Olie]

I find it very hard to search for help on microsoft setup in Visual
Studio. There does not seem to be an easy keyword you can use to
filter google results.

I am trying to install a plugin for an application. There are two
things I have to do with my setup project which I can not figure out.

The plugin must be able to detect whether the application is installed
and install the plugin to that folder.

I need to modify the app.config file of the installed application for
the plugin to work. How do I edit the config file from the installer?
