I have a winforms app that I compiled and put on my client via .NET setup. I
have a webservice on this app. The External address for this webservice was
in the app.config file.

Well I just did I search on the client and I can't find ANY app.config file.
Please don't tell me this is compiled into the EXE???

It should be in the bin folder but it's not called app.config. It's called
ApplicationName.exe.config

usually when you compile the source, the App.config would be renamed as your <applicationname>.exe.config and will be shipped with setup.

e.g. for an application called MyNotepad.exe

the config file will be MyNotepad.exe.config
