  • 0

I am using a 3rd party component which creates settings files based on hard-coded file paths i.e. they are compiled into the DLL e.g.

%APPDATA%\Vendor\Settings.ini

I have created a few console/service applications that use this and work very well. However, I am now trying to use a similar approach via my ASP.NET MVC web application and the settings file never seems to write out!

Usually if the application is running under my acconut for example the file would be written to somewhere like:

C:\Documents and Settings\James\Application Data\Vendor\Settings.ini

So I thought if the website AppPool was running under the same account the file would be saved to the same place….However, it never appears. The account is an admin account running under Windows server 2003.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

    Couldn’t find a solution to this, so I decided to develop a local WCF service (which would create the settings file in the correct directory path) and just accessed it via my web application.
