Unless I misunderstand the error is correct:
The Key ConnectionString does not exist in the app setting configuration section
as in
<add key="Main.ConnectionString" value="...
the key is "Main.ConnectionString" Hope this give you the answer you need!

Can you post the code that gets the connection string?

Can you post the code that gets the connection string?
Here is code
public clsGeneric()//Constructor
{
_mainConnection = new SqlConnection();
AppSettingsReader _configReader = new AppSettingsReader();\_mainConnection.ConnectionString = \_configReader.GetValue("ConnectionString ", typeof(string)).ToString(); }When I run project from visual studion it run fine......but when I create installer and install application then run from installed exe then error occurs

Is there an
app.configor_yourapplicationname_.exe.configin the installation folder? -

Why do you not use
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"].Value.ToString()instead? Moreover, why do you store your connection string as an appsetting, and not as connectionString in your app.config?var question = (_2b || !(_2b));

There is the problem. Say your application builds to an exe called
Foo.exe, it expects the app config file to be namedFoo.exe.config, notapp.config. So you can't just copy the app.config into the installer directly. Make sure the Installer project has "Primary output from your project name here (Active)" in it. As long as the app.config exists in the source project it should be installed with the correct name. Also Greg Chelstowski's post is correct, you should consider using aConnectionStringelement in your app.config rather than adding the connection string as an app setting. -
