When you create a Deployment project to deploy your project,
you can have it install any files that you want to any path.
Have it install the XML file to the same path that the project EXE
is installed to. Then, just refer to the applications path to
get to that file.

To get the Apps path, you can use Application.ExecutablePath

Dim appPath As String

appPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) & "\"
