The Wix schema does not let me add a attribute to Package though. I want
to assign a package Id to the msi.
<xsl:template match="wix:Package">
<xsl:attribute name="Id">$(var.PackageId)</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
With you example, I am able to edit the Product name. thanks.
<xsl:template match="wix:Product/@Name">
<xsl:attribute name="Name">$(var.ProductNameName)</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
