How to provide client-specific app.config for no-touch deployment

Hi, everyone:
here is my issue. I want to make use of no touch deployment for my .net appliation. However, the user wants the flexibility to setup his own config. For example, this application will create some temporary files. The user may setup their own folder to save these files. Actually, these files are really huge and we don't want to save them in the server either. Under this condition, I coudn't use app.config on the sever. Any suggestion, thanks a lot.

    Thanks a lot for your reply. For no-touch deployment, when you run application from browser, it didn't download the *.exe.config to local computer. So the solution I need is how the main application on the server start running with the config on the client. I couldn't use unique config for client. Too much different staff.

    does it not download app.config files then i take it

    One idea i suppose would be to store the path in a field in a user table in SQL server
