Look this:

Quote
{$ifdef win32}
 ConfigFilePath := ExtractFilePath(Application.EXEName) + 'myapp.ini';
{$endif}
{$ifdef Unix}
 ConfigFilePath := GetAppConfigFile(False) + '.conf';
{$endif}

Better use GetAppConfigFile in both cases (Win/Linux), since on modern Windows (> Win9x) you need administrator rights to write in %ProgramFiles% and subdirectories.
