Based on some information posted elsewhere, it looked like the double slash might have been necessary. Regardless, it doesn't work with either the single slash or double slash.

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!
