Hi folks,

is there anybody out there who is using some kind of XmlFileSearch to
retrieve properties like it could be done with IniFileSearch or
RegistrySearch?

Our setup stores some parameters in App.config (as recommended for .Net
Apps) which will be written on install. Installing and uninstalling is
working now. But in the case of an upgrade I'm not sure how to handle this. 

The parameters will be displayed on a customized dialog
Install: if defined on Commandline use this paramters, if not use
[ComputerName]

On an upgrade, if not defined on Commandline, the [ComputerName] will be
used also and overwrite the existing entries in App.Config. So I would like
to retrieve the currend defiend parameters from App.Config to write them
again with XmlFile.

<InstallExecute Before="InstallFinalize" />
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallExecute">
is used to avoid reinstalling the bunch of MSM files if not changed.

Maybe there could be another way. But I'm stuck right now.

Best Regards
Dominik
