Strike that. Figured it out, changed my XmlFiles to XmlConfigs.
And realized that XmlConfig breaks SqlDatabase and FirewallException. -----Original Message----- From: Will Sullivan [mailto:wsulli...@softdocs.com] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 12:41 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] XmlFile & FirewallException 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? -----Original Message----- From: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 9:46 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
