Hi Kevin,
I had the same (copy some configuration from a previously installed XML). What
I did was I wrote a custom action reading the XML within a property than write
that out within the new file.

Subject: [WiX-users] Migrating files during major upgrade
We've got a WiX 2.0 based install, and have an upgrade scenario that I'm not
sure how to accomplish. For the new version of the product, the default
(configurable) install directory has changed. When upgrading existing systems,
we need to copy some XML configuration info from the original install dir to
the new install dir. I'm not sure of the best way to accomplish this. I've
considered two options. One is to read the config info into a property and
write it out to a new config file in the new location. Unfortunately, as far as
I can tell the Xml* custom actions don't support reading XML files, only
writing them. The other option is to copy the existing config file to the new
install directory - but I'm not really sure how to do that in WiX/MSI. Any
pointers? Or other approaches to consider?
Thanks,
Kevin
