We had a similar problem and ended up writing a TemplateFile extension in http://msiext.codeplex.com.

Looks like this: # Hostname of COSIMA de.docufy.cosima.ui.parts/cmshost=localhost # Port of COSIMA host de.docufy.cosima.ui.parts/cmsport=443 # Start XMetaL with tag-view de.docufy.xmetal.ui/startwithtags=true # switched to HTTPS as default since JBoss default changed too de.docufy.cosima.ui.parts/cmshttps=true No I wanted to change the value for the key "de.docufy.cosima.ui.parts/cmshost" to "192.168.0.1" via the IniFile Element. The problem is that there´s a mandatory section-attribute in the IniFile-Element. It´s not possible to leave it blank. When trying this: <IniFile Id="WriteIntoIniFile" Action="addLine" Key="de.docufy.cosima.ui.parts/cmshost" Name="$(var.inifilename)" Section = "test" Value="192.168.0.1" Directory="dirFCEFAD88D5FD0F94EDAA3538F70E78D9" /> there are added to lines to my ini-file: [test] de.docufy.cosima.ui.parts/cmshost=192.168.0.1 instead of rpelacing the old value. Any help woul be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
