Question

I know it’s not possible to isntall a clickonce application for all users, due to a limitation with the technology and what it’s purpose is. My problem is this…I have a Windows Forms application I’ve build, and deployed using ClickOnce. It uses user settings, 2 to be exact to store some information that the application needs.

Now I can install the application fine and it works…But if I login as another user, it looses it’s settings. Is there a way to have the settings global to the application, so that if I install it for a second, or third user, it doesn’t remove settings in place, when it was installed for the first user?

Not sure if changing my settings from User to Application, would fix this or not. Any advice is appreciated.

Changing to app.exe.config is the correct way to do it. It works nicely even across version upgrades.
