I've updated my code to take out the "." from anything that is a path. Here's what I'm using now...
<util:XmlConfig Id="Config_DNS_Path" File="[#Fi.config]" On="install" Sequence="1" Action="create" Node="element" Name="Plugin[\.]Dns[\.]Properties[\.]Settings" ElementPath="/configuration/applicationSettings" /> <util:XmlConfig Id="Config_DNS_DnsServer_Key" File="[#Fi.config]" Sequence="2" Action="create" On="install" Node="element" Name="setting" ElementPath="Config_DNS_Path" /> <util:XmlConfig Id="Config_DNS_DnsServer_Key_Name" File="[#Fi.config]" Sequence="3" Name="name" Value="DNSServer" ElementId="Config_DNS_DnsServer_Key" /> <util:XmlConfig Id="Config_DNS_DnsServer_Key_Serialize" File="[#Fi.config]" Sequence="3" Name="serializeAs" Value="String" ElementId="Config_DNS_DnsServer_Key" /> <util:XmlConfig Id="Config_DNS_DnsServer_Value" File="[#Fi.config]" Sequence="4" Action="create" On="install" Node="element" Name="value" Value="[CONFIG.DNS.DNS_SERVER]" ElementPath="Config_DNS_DnsServer_Key" /> This is what the log file is dumping as the command: MSI (s) (94!E8) [09:02:00:710]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ExecXmlConfig property. Its value is '1C:\Program Files (x86)\Pareto Systems\CRM Admin Tool\CRMAdminTool.exe.config60/configuration/applicationSettingsPlugin.Dns.Properties.Settings060Config_DNS_Pathsetting3nameDNSServerserializeAsStringvaluetest'. Now I get the following error: ExecXmlConfig: Error 0x800710d8: failed to find node: Config_DNS_Path in XML file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Pareto Systems\CRM Admin Tool\CRMAdminTool.exe.config MSI (s) (94!E8) [09:02:05:177]: Product: CRM Admin Tool -- Error 25542.
