In your app code you can refer this file using the relative path such as \custom folder) and ensure that this file is available in the output folder whenever you build your app.

You need to include your file in your setup file along with binaries. In the setup code you need to include the target location of this file (such as installdir\ custom folder). During the installation windows installer will ensure that this file is copied to the required location.

Now after the installation as the custom folder is available your code will not throw any error.

Hope I am clear.
