I’m creating a C# installer using visual studio 2017 installer project in this project there is a user manual it is contained in the root of the project, when I run it either in Debug or Release version, Any CPU or x86 it works normal, however when I try to run the installer of my application and it does not load this manual file.
I use the following command to retrieve the path
string CaminhoRelatorio = Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()).Parent.FullName + @"\Modelo Manual Usuario.chm";
CaminhoRelatorio = CaminhoRelatorio.Replace("bin\\","");
System.Windows.Forms.HelpNavigator HelpN = System.Windows.Forms.HelpNavigator.TopicId;
System.Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp(null, CaminhoRelatorio, HelpN, ID);
The result of the truck returns me = C:\\Users\\pc01\\Desktop\\Sistema\\Modelo Manual Usuario.chm
because it cannot find this path when the installer is generated? what is the best method I can do to solve this problem. causing him to find his way
which error message appears ? after all, the path (folders+ file) exist and the system does not think ? If you are picking "Currentdirectory" it may be that the installer is started in another directory, like, extracts the files to a temporary folder (appdata) and runs a setup, then the value of the variable will be different

Is the file being copied? It comes into existence in this folder?
