Refer this link and use path as Amit said If you don't want to add file setup file you write installer.cs and create here https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12903/Deploy-your-Application-or-Component-Using-Windows https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/568476/Creating-an-MSI-Setup-Package-for-Csharp-Windows

@Jeegen

If you are creating xml file from your application itself then you should use Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath), this will get you the path of the executable.

Or
If your xml file is an external file then while creating setup, add your xml file to Application Folder

Good Luck!
