I created a workflow activity and I need it to read a setting that contains a path to another file. My understanding is that since workflows in CRM are executed by the CrmAsyncService, it is not possible for me to add the necessary settings to a .config file. Instead, these settings could be set in code (a bad idea) or in the registry. To make it more flexible, I chose to save them in the registry The problem is that the workflow is not reading these settings when executed. My question is:
Is there a specific hive\location in the registry where I must store these settings? (I am currently storing them under HKLM\Software\<My Company Name>\<My Product Name>)
Thanks for looking.

My current configuration is Win2K8 R2, CRM 4.0 (UR7), SQL2008

i think you can save your settings in a custom MS CRM entity. this way all of your data will remain inside MS CRM and easily portable and upgradable. create a custom entity, e.g. new_configsettings with attributes (new_Key) and (new_value) etc.
