<connectionStrings/> is the same thing as <connectionStrings></connectionStrings> - they are both empty elements. In XML you can indicate an empty element either way (<tag/> is the preferred way to indicate an empty element).
If you give the connectionStrings element a value, you will get <connectionStrings>some-value</connectionStrings>. Or you can add children to the connectionStrings element as well. -----Original Message----- From: Chad Petersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 1:13 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Will XmlConfig do this? My config file is simple. Just a configuration section. <configuration> </configuration> I want to add a connectionStrings section inside the existing element. <configuration> <connectionStrings> </connectionStrings> </configuration> However, the installer always does this <configuration> <connectionStrings/></configuration> <XmlConfig Id="XMLMachine10" File="C:\hfshostingservice.exe.config" On="install" ElementPath="/configuration" Node="element" Name="connectionStrings" Action="create" Sequence="1"/> Any ideas?
