My app needs to open an Access mdb file and an xml file (which are stored in bin\Release) to read and write data. The question is, if I am to publish it, how should I include them so that the setup file will install them into the same folder that the exe will run from (Local Settings\Apps\2.0(…))?

I already tried adding them to the project but then they ended up in the next folder to the one containing the exe.

Alternatively:
If I can’t with vc# express, is there another way to do this (through a 3rd party software maybe)?

Thanks 🙂
