I'm not getting a lot of response on this so I'll try to state it more strongly
XmlFile does not work if the xml file has a namespace defined at the root node.
Is this a bug?
Is there some sort of work around with associated Properties?
Example (This does not work)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SqlCommandVariables
xmlns="urn:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Schema.Project.SqlCmdVars">
<Version>1</Version>
<Properties>
<Property>
<PropertyName>Path1</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>C:\</PropertyValue>
</Property>
<Property>
<PropertyName>Path2</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>C:\Program Files</PropertyValue>
</Property>
<Property>
<PropertyName>Path3</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>C:\Program Files\Microsoft</PropertyValue>
</Property>
</Properties>
</SqlCommandVariables>
<Component Id="Database.sqlcmdvars"
Guid="{58B4E936-A66D-4C2D-ABE0-CB1610CE880D}" DiskId="1">
<File Id="Database.sqlcmdvars" Name="Database.sqlcmdvars" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.SimpleDatabase.TargetDir)Database.sqlcmdvars" Vital="yes" />
<util:XmlFile Id="SetPath1Variable" Action="setValue"
ElementPath="SqlCommandVariables/Properties/Property[\[]node() =
'Path1'[\]]/PropertyValue" File="[#Database.sqlcmdvars]"
SelectionLanguage="XPath" Value="[LOGPATH]"/>
<util:XmlFile Id="SetPath2Variable" Action="setValue"
ElementPath="SqlCommandVariables/Properties/Property[\[]node() =
'Path2'[\]]/PropertyValue" File="[#Database.sqlcmdvars]"
SelectionLanguage="XPath" Value="[DATAPATH]"/>
<util:XmlFile Id="SetPath3Variable" Action="setValue"
ElementPath="SqlCommandVariables/Properties/Property[\[]node() =
'Path3'[\]]/PropertyValue" File="[#Database.sqlcmdvars]"
SelectionLanguage="XPath" Value="MyPath3"/>
</Component>
In the above example I always get an error
Example Again (This works)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SqlCommandVariables>
<Version>1</Version>
<Properties>
<Property>
<PropertyName>Path1</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>C:\</PropertyValue>
</Property>
<Property>
<PropertyName>Path2</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>C:\Program Files</PropertyValue>
</Property>
<Property>
<PropertyName>Path3</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>C:\Program Files\Microsoft</PropertyValue>
</Property>
</Properties>
</SqlCommandVariables>
<Component Id="Database.sqlcmdvars"
Guid="{58B4E936-A66D-4C2D-ABE0-CB1610CE880D}" DiskId="1">
<File Id="Database.sqlcmdvars" Name="Database.sqlcmdvars" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.SimpleDatabase.TargetDir)Database.sqlcmdvars" Vital="yes" />
<util:XmlFile Id="SetPath1Variable" Action="setValue"
ElementPath="SqlCommandVariables/Properties/Property[\[]node() =
'Path1'[\]]/PropertyValue" File="[#Database.sqlcmdvars]"
SelectionLanguage="XPath" Value="[LOGPATH]"/>
<util:XmlFile Id="SetPath2Variable" Action="setValue"
ElementPath="SqlCommandVariables/Properties/Property[\[]node() =
'Path2'[\]]/PropertyValue" File="[#Database.sqlcmdvars]"
SelectionLanguage="XPath" Value="[DATAPATH]"/>
<util:XmlFile Id="SetPath3Variable" Action="setValue"
ElementPath="SqlCommandVariables/Properties/Property[\[]node() =
'Path3'[\]]/PropertyValue" File="[#Database.sqlcmdvars]"
SelectionLanguage="XPath" Value="MyPath3"/>
</Component>
The only difference is the presence of the xmlns attribute on the node.

Sorry about the clarity.
If my xml file does not have a default namespace. Then XPath queries work just
fine through the XmlFile element.
If my xml file has a default namespace. Then XPath queries do not work.
If this was straight-up XSLT then I would add the default namespace to the
preprocessor. But I don't see a way to do that with XmlFile or XmlConfig.
So I'm wondering if XmlFile supports xml files that have namespaces in their
root element?

Um, is what a known issue? What happens if it does have a default
namespace? There are definitely some MSXML oddities with them.
