I'm using XmlFile action
(http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension/XmlFile) to update an XML file,
which is deploying to System32 folder.
I've using the following code initially (removing some unrelated attributes):
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR">
<Directory Id="SystemFolder">
<Component>
<File Id="fileConfig" Name="file.config" />
<util:XmlFile File="[# fileConfig]" Action="setValue"
ElementPath=" " Name="value" Value=" " />
</Component>
</Directory>
</DirectoryRef>
On 64bit platform the code deploys the file into SysWOW64 folder and updates it.
So I fix the code as following:
<?if $(env.BUILDTARGET) = "i386"?>
<?define IsWin64 = no?>
<?define WinSystemFolder = SystemFolder?>
<?else ?>
<?define IsWin64 = yes?>
<?define WinSystemFolder = System64Folder?>
<?endif ?>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR">
<Directory Id="$(var.WinSystemFolder)">
<Component Win64="$(var.IsWin64)">
<File Id="fileConfig" Name="file.config" />
<util:XmlFile File="[# fileConfig]" Action="setValue"
ElementPath=" " Name="value" Value=" " />
</Component>
</Directory>
</DirectoryRef>
Now the code deploys the file to the right location (System32), but XmlFile
action throws the following error:
Failed to open XML file D:\WINDOWS\system32\file.config, system error:
-2147024786
where -2147024786 stands for 0x8007006E: The system cannot open the device or
file specified.
Is it indeed a bug in XmlFile action for 64bit platform?
If so, is there a way to work around it?
Thank you,
Max
