Yes, AAA is a feature, and Custom Action is executed in deferred stage.

I patch on a un-patched version.

Pay attention to when these actions are sequenced. In particular, as the
linked article mentions, any action that relies on these conditions should
be sequenced after CostFinalize.

Yes. XmlFile is create for setting things that already exist. If you need
more than that, I tend to choose XmlConfig.
Note that I usually write the XPath to the element, and then write to the
attribute as specified in "Name."

I have never used "!" for "not equals" clause, typically one would use "AAA <>
3".
If AAA is a feature, !AAA=3 would means run the custom action if the feature

You need to add a Name="value" attribute. Otherwise, your code is trying to

Thanks John, I made that change and the build worked but when I ran the
install to test it I get the following error:
Failed to find node:
//configuration/appSettings/add[@key='ServiceInfo']/@value in XML file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\Product\Product.exe.config, system error:

In general, path properties in WiX and in MSI installers in general already
have a trailing '\'. However, I hate the [INSTALLDIR]Remotelnk.exe.config
idiom. If you're installing this file (and almost certainly you are), give it
a File@Id element. Then you can reference it's absolute path dire
You need to escape the [] in the ElementPath as these have special meaning to
the installer.

How can I hide the options ui during upgrade. Now the upgrade looks exactly
like a clean install.
I know you can use SuppressOptionsUI but that also hides the options on clean
install.

I was given the task to update a new .config file during our install and I

Some large companies use mass deployment methods to distribute software to

the reporting they get back from them is better. They would tend to strip the
