Using AIE is going to be the simplest route.  You don't necessarily need to
install the application into an AIE environment, just simply create a new
environment in the console, associate to the Published app and create a
redirect rule for the program.config file. It's really going to the simplest
choice.

Subject: [THIN] Redirecting a unique config file (not an ini) to the users
home drive





Hi All,

I'm having a bad brain day, and can't think of a way around this issue.

My client has a program called "program.exe". When it runs, it expects a
config file called "program.config" to be in the same folder as the
executable. This seems to be hard coded. The config file holds user
specific information, which is why I'm trying to redirect it to the users
home drive. I'm not sure how I can get this to work in a multiuser
environment.

Given that we are using PS4.0, I can always create an application isolation
environment, but I wanted to try an keep this as simple as possible.

This program only has to be run by 16 different groups of people, with each
group needing a different config file, so I guess that I could even install
it 16 time. It's not such a big footprint.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers.
