you should really be using the Application.UserAppDataPath property for
storing user application data, no the installation directory. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...apathtopic.asp

absolutely. thanks ollie.
something i noticed since making the change, though. whenever i run the
application, a new folder is created in the user\application data folder
with the current build version. so, everytime i run the app, my app tries to
find the config file, fails to find it, and i then have to re-enter all the
info again. i suppose i could just hard code in a fixed folder to save the
file in until i'm ready to go to release, but is there a better way around
this?

change the AssemblyVersion attribute in the assemlbyinfo.cs file from
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")] to a fixed number and it will stop
creating a new folder each time.
Using [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")] in the assemblyinfo.cs file
creates a new version for each build and hence a new folder with the version
in it under the UserAppDataPath property value.
