to mention time-consuming. If you can get away with writing your custom action in C# that might make things a bit easier too. In our case, our products have a minimum platform requirement of Windows 7, so we know that .NET 3.5 will be present when the installer is run. Davis, Jeff wrote

2015-03-06 Thread Davis, Jeff
It seems like the answer to every question about reading XML value using Wix is to write a custom action. I have found a couple of solutions that I have tried with no success. Does someone have a working XML Search custom action that you pass a XML filename and a XPath value and it will popul
