Looking again at XmlConfig, I remember why I bailed on it. While XmlFile is
easy to parse and works as expected, XmlConfig has some very weird limitations
and while I can figure out how to do what I want to do in XmlFile, I can't
figure out how to do it in XmlConfig.
Here's a simplified example of one thing I'm doing with XmlFile:
<Component Id="ConfigUpdateWithoutInstance"
Guid="5d2b1adf-ab62-49f5-8c17-8c08b26eb926">
<util:XmlFile Id="connexWithout"
Action="setValue"
ElementPath="/configuration/connectionStrings/add[...@name='MyDatabase'[\]]/@connectionString"
File="[INSTALLDIR]HurrDurr.exe.config"
Value="The new config string goes here lol" />
</Component>
I'm replacing the value of an attribute, which I don't believe you can do with
XmlConfig. You have to do some weird stuff like name the parent element and
then replace its value or something, but I'm not sure how to do that without
including actual XML in the Value, or if that's okay, or what the hell
verifyPath does or if I need it.
How would that snippet look with XmlConfig, anyhow?

Use XMLConfig instead?

So, its clear that XmlFile breaks
SqlDatabase<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2986062&gro
up_id=105970&atid=642714> (I'm real happy at the way this issue is being
ignored, btw).
Its also become clear to me that XmlFile also breaks FirewallException.
Is there nothing XmlFile can't do?
Is there any chance the Wix team is going to do something about all the freaky
side effects that XmlFile causes?
