I have an installer that uses <util:XmlFile/>. I looked at the
InstallExecuteSequence in the installer package using InstEdit and did *not*
find an action called "ExecuteAction". If this is a custom action you wrote
then you need to be aware where that custom action is scheduled.
I see "SchedXmlFile" in the InstallExecuteSequence in my installer where it is
located between "DuplicateFiles" and "WriteRegistryValues" according to
Sequence order. The "SchedXmlFile" action is responsible for scheduling the
<util:XmlFile/> changes so we want to schedule "CA_testSqlConnection" before
"SchedXmlFile".
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CA_testSqlConnection" Before="SchedXmlFile" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
You'll need to make sure that "CA_testSqlConnection" is an immediate custom
action because the value of [SQLCONNECTION] is needed during the immediate
sequence when "SchedXmlFile" does its work.
