Default Saving values during installation of Add-In

Hi,

One of my add-ins uses an ini file to control how things run. This
enables me to update certain values which are available to all users
without having to update the add in everytime. The add-in is used by
many different people, so the ini file is stored on a network drive.
The ini file location is stored as a constant within the add-in and
everything works fine.

This add in now needs to be deployed to different sites, all of which
have a different network set up. What I'd like is for the user to be
prompted to select the location of the ini file during installation,
and have the add-in remember the path for future use.

Theres probably a few different options, and i'd appreciate as many
ideas as possible. Some of our PCs are heavily locked down so options
such as writing to the registry or creating a local file may or may not
be possible. The ideal is for the value to be stored somehow within
the add-in. Possible?

Many TIA,

Red.
