Quick question--if I create a settings file for my wpf, what file would I need to include in the installer in order for the program to be able to store its settings when installed on other computers?
Thanks!

If you mean the project's properties/settings, these are embedded in your application, included in the exe.
The actual file is ../properties/settings.settings, but you can open it with notepad, it's just an XML text file.
If you build and look in your bin folder, or publish and pull the deploymant apart, you won't find it physically anywhere.

Hi,
You can also use app.config file to store the parameters you want, and the following links might be helpful:
Application Settings(MSDN)
Application Settings Overview(MSDN)
Using App.Config for user defined runtime parameters
May the information is helpful to you.
