If the limitation is the length of the string in the column, we should fix that.  However, I think these limits were adjusted upwards a while ago.  What version of wix are you using (as reported by candle /?)?
 
Thanks,

Subject: [WiX-users] XML files and large chunks of XML

Hi all,
 
I have a requirement to take an old XML file and copy all the settings from /configuration/appsettings (which could be 20 or 30 settings) to the new xml file.  I've managed to get this ito a property, but when I try to reference it in the XmlFile element it dies horribly.  Now, I'm also setting another value in the same file, and that works fine.  This is the first time that I've tried writing a big chunk of XML at once, and I think that's what's cauing it to fail.
 
The column in the table has a maximum length of 255 characters - does this mean that the XML handler can only shift 255 characters at a time?  If so, then the amount of data I want to write is more than that.  What's the best way of writing a lot of data at once?
 
Thanks
 
John
