Because text files are "free-form" you either need to specify the exact text format (.INI, or .XML, or whatever) the text file is in OR you need something like a SED editor wrapped into a custom action. Having said that, I don't happen to know of any SED C/As.
However, I'm sure someone would be willing to write one... -----Original Message----- From: Slide [mailto:slide.o....@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2009 4:15 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] custom action to modify a file I've been googling this for a couple days and maybe I'm just not looking for the right combination of words, so can anyone point me to a custom action that would let me modify a text file during install? I need to update it with the selected installation path that the user has chosen.
