BlueIcaro:
Look this:


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

--- End quote ---

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