Is the xml file part of the same install that tries to modify it? If so you will probably need some sort of of deferred custom action, as the file will probably not have been copied over prior to the XmlConfig being run. John Hancock (HSG) wrote: > > Based on some information posted elsewhere,

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action - HowTo call a function from a dll?

You need to have your .dll in the binary folder under where your wxs is. That is: C:\WiXSource\WixProj1\mysource.wxs and C:\WiXSource\WixProj1\Binary\InstallUtil.dll However you might also want to check whether you want to use an immediate custom action or a deferred CA. If you're editing files t

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Windows Installer will create these keys for you. All that you would need to do would be to supply a GUID for the application that you are installing. The first chapter http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ here should help you out with this. There i
