Hi, I resolved this myself. It seems there is no mechanism for CodeDomReader to handle processing instructions. I fixed the issue by:
- Creating a new ProcessingInstructionElement to store the data from the xml PI. - Copy & paste source from CodeDomReader and hacking ParseObjectFromElement so that it now reads processing instructions and build's my custom element - Adding a new ElementCollection for storing ProcessingInstructionElement - Adding the new collection to any node which contains a processing instruction The application can now open, edit and save wix via the object model. What a pain in the ass...
