What does "installing" refer to here. Are you writing a Console App where you need to create a file ? Please clarify.

installing means executable file converting console application into set up file

Try this

Include namespace "System.IO"

C#

//write
string path = @"D:\YourPath\Test.txt";
if (!File.Exists(path))
{
    File.Create(path);
    TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(path);
    tw.WriteLine("test line 1!");
    tw.Close();
}
else if (File.Exists(path))
{
    TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(path, true);
    tw.WriteLine("test line 2!");
    tw.Close(); 
}

//read
string texts = ReadAllText(@"D:\YourPath\Test.txt");
System.Console.WriteLine("File Test.txt contains = {0}", texts);

In case, this doesn't solve your problem, please reply.
