Worker service create file on the fly in deployment not working

Question

Hi,
When I create file on the fly , when debugging everting is OK.
But when I deployed and install the worker service I get error:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file
The code is :
if (!File.Exists(fileName))
{

                XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
                settings.Indent = true;
                settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
                settings.NewLineOnAttributes = true;
                settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Auto;

                using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(fileName, settings))
                {
                    writer.WriteStartDocument();
                    writer.WriteStartElement(Constants.UsersRootElement);

                    writer.WriteStartElement(Constants.UserElement);

                    writer.WriteElementString(Constants.IsActive, true.ToString());
               ......

                    writer.WriteEndElement();

                    writer.WriteEndDocument();
                    writer.Flush();
                }
            }

Thnaks,

@Dani_S , thanks for the feedback, based on my search, I find that it may be related your code about create the xml file when running it as a windows service. Please refer to the question FileNotFoundException when running a Windows Service to use the following code to set your relative path of the file.

String path = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;  
path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(path);  
Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(path);
