LOL Just writing registry keys, of course, is not the only thing that happens inside .NET custom actions. Sometimes we have to read a registry key already written and perform a certain action, or write a new key whose value is not that easily derived to be handled by the Registry table. Bob Arns

I might think a generic implementation to support this scenario of allowing users to define public property values on the command line and/or in a single xml file would involve a customAction sequenced to process right up front during install/unstall and simply read the one per line property=val

By "moved into place" I'm referring to the default web.config & app.config having been copied by the msi to the INSTALLDIR path where they need to reside. Once in place I was hoping that XmlConfig allows me to update entries configured with default settings in these files with a host specific v

The WiX toolset works somewhat like a C++ toolset. Candle is a 'compiler' which parses your source code and turns it into 'object code' - in this case, effectively writing the rows that will be written to the MSI, with placeholders where necessary if a reference is not resolved within this fragment
