Am I correct to assume that using [#fileid] syntax to refer to a file
does not work if that files' component is marked with
Permanent="yes" and/or NeverOverwrite="yes"?
I.e. it will only be correctly evaluated if the installer actually
"processes", e.g. installs, the file.
Example:
...
<Component Id="SystemSettings"
Guid="{GUID}" Permanent="yes"
NeverOverwrite="yes">
<File
Source="SystemSettings.xml"/>
</Component>
<Component Id="Component"
Guid="{GUID}">
<File
Source="Config.xml"/>
<util:XmlFile
Id="SetSystemSettingsFile" Action="setValue"
File="[#Config.xml]"
ElementPath="reference/systemsettignsfile"
Value="[#SystemSettings.xml"/>
</Component>
...
The "[#SystemSettings.xml]" reference will only work the
first time the install is run. When uninstalling, the SystemSettings.xml
file will not be uninstalled (due to the Permanent attribute) and when
re-installed it will not be overwritten (due to the
NeverOverwrite="yes" attribute). But at the same time it will
evaluate [#SystemSettings.xml] to blank/empty so that referenced may not
get what is expected (or what?).
Is this by design or a bug?
