The reason that the embedded config.fpw does not take precedence is so that you can use different configurations for each copy of the application that you distribute. But in that case, it must be named "config.fpw" and must be in the application directory to be successful.

Changing the name to config.fpw and adding that to the project worked. Thanks a lot.
