Hi, I am new to WIX, and I need to add following in machine.config. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="AspxContentProvider" publicKeyToken="b31f3856ad36435e" culture="neutral"/> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-2.0.0.25" newVersion="2.0.0.25"/> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="DynamicXmlContentProvider" publicKeyToken="b31f3856ad36435e" culture="neutral"/> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-2.0.0.25" newVersion="2.0.0.25"/> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration>
However, when I use XmlConfig to add them into machine.config, I got below result. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly xmlns=""> <assemblyIdentity name="AspxContentProvider" publicKeyToken="b31f3856ad36435e" culture="neutral"/> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-2.0.0.25" newVersion="2.0.0.25"/> <assemblyIdentity name="DynamicXmlContentProvider" publicKeyToken="b31f3856ad36435e" culture="neutral"/> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-2.0.0.25" newVersion="2.0.0.25"/> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly xmlns=""/> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration> There are two issues here, 1. The blank xmlns property for dependentAssembly is added by default. My question is how to remove it? a. I tried to delete the xmlns property by XmlConfig, but it didn't work. <util:XmlConfig Id="Machine_Config_Runtime_Binding_AspxCP_Xmlns_b" File="[MACHINECONFIG]" Action="delete" On="install" ElementPath="/configuration/runtime/assemblyBinding/dependentAssembly" Name="xmlns" VerifyPath="/configuration/runtime/assemblyBinding/dependentassembly[...@xmlns[\]]" Sequence="11" /> 2. The DynamicXmlContentProvider should be added in the second dependentAssembly element, however, it was added into the first one. I tried two methods and didn't get it work. Here below are my trying: a. Using the Id of parent element(Machine_Config_Runtime_Binding_AspxCP) as the value of ElementPath of assemblyIdentity element, but the installer complains that "Failed to find node: Machine_Config_Runtime_Binding_AspxCP in XML file..." b. Specifying ElementPath="/configuration/runtime/assemblyBinding/dependentAssembly[\[]last()[\]]", the installer says that "Failed to find node /configuration/runtime/assemblyBinding/dependentAssembly[last()]..." I googled these two problem on the net, and found someone asked the similar questions but no answers for them. Any suggestion for these two question? BTW, I use wix 3.5.1823.0 build.
