I'm having problems with the XmlFile custom action using Wix 3.0 where the
installer says it fails to open the installed XML file. The installer is being
run on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SP1.
In particular, I have something like the following:
<Component Id="XMLConfig" Guid="YOUR-GUID-HERE" DiskId="1">
<File Id="Config.xml" Name="Config.xml" KeyPath="yes" />
<util:XmlFile Id ="Config_Name" File="[INSTALLLOCATION]Config.xml"
Action="setValue" ElementPath="//Config/Name" Value="[NAME]"/>
<util:XmlFile Id ="Config_IPAddress" File="[INSTALLLOCATION]Config.xml"
Action="setValue" ElementPath="//Config/IPAddress" Value="[IPADDRESS]"/>
</Component>
The XML file is installed in the proper location and when it goes to use the
custom action, it looks in the proper location for the file, but I get an error
that causes the installation to abort. The error in the installation logfile
looks like:
ExecXmlFile: Error 0x8007006e: failed to load XML file:
C:\inetpub\MyDirectory\Config.xml
If I have filemon open, however, at the time the ExecXmlFile fails, it claims
that the file READ request returned SUCCESS. The paths appear correct and if I
leave out the XmlFile actions the file installs properly in the location
expected.
Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong? My Config.xml looks like the
following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Config>
<Name>servername</Name>
<IPAddress>serverIP</IPAddress>
</Config>
Thanks for any assistance!
John
