EXE Config

See Also: Sample ODIS.exe.config File

The .exe.config file is an XML file created along with the ODIS application. The features referenced in the file are usually set once on installation and left in place. However, as the features may require modification, a user can edit some of the features as needed.

The file will have the same name as the ODIS program, e.g. if your are running ODIS-IC, there will be an "ODIS-3.exe" and an "ODIS-3.exe.config" file in the application directory.
