Common Application Configuration File in WVD
knowlite the original ini file will be in the place where the app expects it to be. It's just that based on which user is accessing the file, FSLogix will redirect the file open to the user's copy in their profile. It's like a fancy symlink, except that it will redirect to a different place based on which user is accessing the file. And if the target file doesn't exist, it can copy the original file to the target location before opening it.
As far as I understood the initial poster, the ini should stay in the program folder so redirection cannot be done? Am I correct 40MB?

Well, this may not be helpful to future people who search for solutions to this very peculiar problem, but here's the solution we came up with.
After discussion, we determined that there are only a couple of settings that actually need to be changed. So we created three host pools - MyApp Setting A, MyApp Setting B, and MyApp Setting C. So users launch the desktop of the host pools whose application settings match their needs.
Not elegant, and a bit wasteful, but unfortunately necessary because of the very peculiar way this application was written.
Thanks everyone for you very helpful comments and suggestions.
