When the config file is originally built out it looks fine, all the xml is in tact. After Wix packages it and I run the setup. You can download the exact file that is output from the setup from:
www.hughgrice.com/my.config.txt When I open a DLL in word it looks the same as the config file which I don't really understand. Any ideas? Thanks again for the help.
