You know what, I checked again and it looks like I was looking at the v2 .chm. That would probably explain why it wasn't there :) I tried referring to util:XmlConfig though, and I'm still getting errors from Candle. I tried both your suggestion and a fully qualified example (empty, I know, but I'm just trying to get by the first level of errors):
<Component Id="XMLSettings" Guid="1B612F9C-F3EA-4E0C-B6C5-4F80636740F4"> <File Id="ConfigFile" DiskId="1" Name="settings.config" Source="..\$bin\settings.config" Vital="yes"/> <util:XmlConfig></util:XmlConfig> <Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Extensions.Serialize.Util.XmlConfig ></Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Extensions.Serialize.Util.XmlConf ig> </Component> The first attempt tells me that the namespace prefix "Util" (upper or lower case) isn't defined, and the fully qualified example says that the component element contains an unexpected child element. All I did for the DLL was to reference WixUtilExtension and rebuild-is there another line I need to add to the wix source to include the schema extensions (similar to a using directive or an #include)? Thanks again for all your help though-I wouldn't have made it near as far as I have without this list.

Also, adding the reference to WixUtilExtension doesn't seem to resolve the problem-adding an XmlConfig or XmlFile element under a Component still comes up with the same errors. Is it possible that these were removed from the util DLL in the version of Votive that's up on Sourceforge? XmlConfig is in WiX.chm for the latest v3 release. You'll need to use util:XmlConfig to refer to the WixUtilExtension namespace. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
