I am trying to use the XmlFile element to modify the MACHINE.CONFIG file.  I need to add application settings for my app.  I need to add settings such that the config file ends up as follows:

<appSettings>

    <add key="MyKey1" value="key 1 value" />

    <add key="MyKey2" value="key 2 value" />

  </appSettings>

 

First I create an “add” element.  Next, I want to set the element’s attributes as shown above.  However, when I try to set the second “add” element I end up changing the first and adding an empty second “add” element.  I tried specifying the first element (ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings/add[1]') with no luck; I tried the last element (ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings/add[last()]') with no luck. 

 

I have tried the following:

 

<Component Id="MachineConfigComponent" Guid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" >

   <XmlFile Id='XmlSettings1'

            File='[FRAMEWORKINSTALLPATH]v1.1.4322\CONFIG\Machine.Config'

            Action='' Name='appSettings' ElementPath='//configuration'

            Sequence='1' />

 

   <XmlFile Id='XmlSettings2'

            File='[FRAMEWORKINSTALLPATH]v1.1.4322\CONFIG\Machine.Config'

            Action='' Name='add' ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings'

            Sequence='2' />

   <XmlFile Id='XmlSettings3'

            File='[FRAMEWORKINSTALLPATH]v1.1.4322\CONFIG\Machine.Config'

            Action='' Name='key' Value='MyKey1'

            ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings/add'

            Sequence='3' />

   <XmlFile Id='XmlSettings4'

            File='[FRAMEWORKINSTALLPATH]v1.1.4322\CONFIG\Machine.Config'

            Action='' Name='value' Value='key 1 value'

            ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings/add'

            Sequence='4' />

 

   <XmlFile Id='XmlSettings5'

            File='[FRAMEWORKINSTALLPATH]v1.1.4322\CONFIG\Machine.Config'

            Action='' Name='add' ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings'

            Sequence='5' />

   <XmlFile Id='XmlSettings6'

            File='[FRAMEWORKINSTALLPATH]v1.1.4322\CONFIG\Machine.Config'

            Action='' Name='key' Value='MyKey2'

            ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings/add[1]'

            Sequence='6' />

   <XmlFile Id='XmlSettings7'

            File='[FRAMEWORKINSTALLPATH]v1.1.4322\CONFIG\Machine.Config'

            Action='' Name='value' Value='key 2 value'

            ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings/add[1]' Sequence='7' />

</Component>

 

Does anyone know how to add elements and set their attributes when the element names are the same?
