Hi Rob
 
That tool helps a lot it seems that local-name() is an unknown method - I 
assume it is using an old flavour of the XML DOM.

I’ve had lots of issues with the XML Pattern stuff with namespaces.  I 
eventually wrote a little jscript that let me test my pattern until I finally 
got it right.  Then I dropped it in with variables and boom:
 
if (2 > WScript.Arguments.length)
{
    WScript.Echo("Must specify both the file and the XSL Path to query.");
    WScript.Quit(1);
}
 
WScript.Echo("Opening File: " + WScript.Arguments(0));
 
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load(WScript.Arguments(0));
 
if (0 != xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode)
{
    var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
    WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
}
else
{
    WScript.Echo("Query: " + WScript.Arguments(1));
    WScript.Echo();
 
    // xmlDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");
    currNode = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode(WScript.Arguments(1));
    if (null == currNode)
    {
        WScript.Echo("Nothing found.");
    }
    else
    {
        WScript.Echo(currNode.text);
    }
}

Sorry I should have said I am using WIX V2 (not 3) and I have the correct 
escaping as you can see in my example. Unfortunately web.config don't tend to 
have any namespaces defined in them and I don't have issue with those files - 
its an xml file that has namespaces defined within it that is causing 
grief.Shaun

I’m not totally in tune with xml paths and whatnot, but I hacked through an 
example and came up with this:
 
<util:XmlFile Id="RequireCorrectCaptchaCode" Action="setValue" 
ElementPath="/configuration/appSettings/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]'RequireCorrectCaptchaCode'[\]]/@value" File="[INSTALLDIR]Web.config" 
Value="[[TARGET_ENVIRONMENT].CAPTCHA_REQUIRED]" />
 
The escape characters and whatnot are hardly intuitive and it took forever to 
get it to work, but this is the syntax I use in our installers to change values 
in our config files. Hope this helps.

I am trying to use xmlfile on an file with namespaces I would therefore 
construct my query to look like this 
ElementPath="//*[\[]local-name()='deployment'[\]]/*[\[]local-name()='deploymentProvider'[\]]/@codebase"
 but I get the following error ExecXmlFile:  Error 0x80004005: failed to find 
node: //*/*/@codebase in XML file: C:\Program Files\XXX\XXX.applicationMSI (s) 
(20!60) [19:44:10:257]: Product: XXX Service -- Error 25532. Failed to find 
node: 
//*[local-name()='deployment']/*[local-name()='deploymentProvider']/@codebase 
in XML file: C:\Program Files\XXX\XXX.application, system error: -2147467259 
only 1 node matches that query in the file can xmlfile handle such xpath 
queries? If not how is one to handle xml files that have many namespaces within 
them since there does not appear to be a way of adding namespace information 
into the xmlfile CA Shaun
