John,
Why the double slashes at the beginning of your element names? Just one
slash...
<util:XmlConfig
Id='ADD_SOME_TOC'
Sequence='26001'
Action='create'
On='install'
Name='toc_replaceme'
Node='element'
ElementPath='/plugin/extension'
File='[INSTALLDIR]plugin.xml'
VerifyPath='/plugin/extension/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"SomeTOC.xml"[\]]' />

Subject: [WiX-users] XmlFile failing to open installed file

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
