Add xmlns:wix="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; in the root element of 
your XSLT and change your template to:

<xsl:template match="wix:packa...@name">
        <xsl:attribute name="Name">$(var.ProductName)</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>

Title, version


Thanks a lot for these details!

Taking your Manufacturer xsl as a baseline example, I tried to replace the
Name attribute in <Product> but really made no progress. I got this crappy
code to work, but would like something like this.

<xsl:template match="packa...@name">
        <xsl:attribute name="Name">$(var.ProductName)</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>


I got this to work, but I do not like checking for 'PUT-PRODUCT-NAME-HERE'
constant.
<xsl:template match="@Name[.='PUT-PRODUCT-NAME-HERE']">
        <xsl:attribute name="Name">$(var.ProductName)</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>


Also, I want to insert an attribute in the <Package> element, and this code
again does not work.
  <xsl:template match="Package">
        <xsl:attribute name="Id">$(var.PackageId)</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>

Any idea what I am missing here? I should confess, this is the first time I
am writing an Xsl transform.

thanks,
sangeeta
