We're using MSXML so you're seeing it's default behavior. Happy to take suggestions about how to make MSXML behave better.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] how does one get XmlFile to insert literal translations of < and > entity settings when setting values? Switched to util:XmlConfig and inserted a document fragment which did the trick. I included an xml comment, as shown in excerpt below, in document fragment xml but util:XmlConfig stripped the xml comment. Is there a way to keep util:XmlConfig from stripping xml code comment sout of the document fragment? <util:XmlConfig Id="Service1IServiceGatewayEndpointIdentity" File="[#NsService.exe.config]" ElementPath="/configuration/system.serviceModel/client/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"ServiceGatewayEndpoint"[\]]" Action="create" Node="document" On="install"><![CDATA[ <!-- Added for bug #343521.

Or you can switch to XmlConfig and insert a document fragment. -----Original Message----- From: Robert O'Brien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 13:14 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'
