Application cannot find app.config file when Windows Startup starts

I recently added a setup project to my application. In the setup project, I added a registry value that would launch my application when Windows starts at HKLM \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run. When the app is launched from this location, it crashes with a System.NullReference exception (it cannot find the app.config file that is read in the method when the app loads). I can run the application fine from the start menu or from an installed folder. How can I run my application in Startup?

I believe it will work with the system folder as the working folder. Installing the config file to the system folder or setting the working folder should fix the problem.
