The .Net app.config file is ignored when using c: \ ProgramFiles \

Question

I have a strange phenomenon

I have .Net 4.0. When myapp.exe.config is under the usual program files folder, it is ignored. Even if I delete it or write nonsense in it, myapp.exe works, and it seems to me that the values ​​are taken from a previous installation.

When I copy a folder, for example. On the desktop, it works correctly.

Edit: when copying the form c: programfiles \ myapp \ to c: \ programfiles \ copy myapp \ it works It seems that this is only a problem in the progamfile folder where the previous installation was created by benn. (I think)

Any ideas?

Regards

Answer 3

There is a folder C: \ Users \ myuser \ AppData \ Local \ VirtualStore \ Program Files \ myapp

Where was the configuration made?

This "function" comes that my application does not work as admin. Read the comments on UAC. This only happens with Win7 and Vista. Not on XP.
