Installer classes and config files

I have a .NET Installer class that gets executed during my installation.
However, that installer class is reliant on an associated .config file. So I
have "MyClass.dll" that is a .NET Installer class. I also have a file
"MyClass.dll.config" that is deployed into the same destination directory.

By doing some testing and using reflection, I have confirmed that the
ExecutingAssembly is "MyClass.dll", and it is executing in the directory
where MyClass.dll.config lives. However, anytime I try to retrieve a value
from the config file, (for example using ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings),
I get an error telling me the section does not exist.

Does anybody have this working, or know of any issues or how to do this?

Thanks,
Bob
