I haven't tried this in WiX itself but because you want to get to the child node <value> shouldn't your XPath query have "/value" at the end?
Something like this: "/configuration/applicationSettings/Microsoft.Lexicon.Framework.Backgrou ndLocalFileSettings/setting[@name='DatabaseServer']/value" Cheers Sharad Patel -----Original Message----- From: Gregg Swanson [mailto:gregg.swan...@microsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, 8 February 2011 10:10 a.m. To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Assistance using XmlConfig (assuming that is thecorrect hammer for this issue) Hello, I am looking for some help using XmlConfig, assuming that XmlConfig is the correct hammer for this issue. I have an app.config file that I would like to modify when it is installed, a sample config file - <applicationSettings> <Microsoft.Lexicon.Framework.BackgroundLocalFileSettings> <setting name="DatabaseServer" serializeAs="String"> <value>(local)</value> </setting> <setting name="DefaultDatabase" serializeAs="String"> <value>TexusCatalog</value> </setting> </Microsoft.Lexicon.Framework.BackgroundLocalFileSettings> </applicationSettings> I would like to replace the strings "<value>(local)</value>" and "<value>TexusCatalog</TexusCatalog> with the contents of a property. In tried the following line of WIX to accomplish the task - <util:XmlConfig Id="Config.Update" Action="create" Sequence="1125" ElementPath="/configuration/applicationSettings/Microsoft.Lexicon.Framew ork.BackgroundLocalFileSettings/setting[\[]@name='DatabaseServer'[\]]" VerifyPath="/configuration/applicationSettings/Microsoft.Lexicon.Framewo rk.BackgroundLocalFileSettings/setting[\[]@name='DatabaseServer'[\]]" File="[MyModuleDirectory]$(var.StorageAgentWindowsService.TargetFileName ).config" Node="value" Name ="value" Value="[CATALOGSERVER]" On="install"/> This resulted in a fragment that looked like this - <setting name="DatabaseServer" serializeAs="String" value="myserservername"> <value>(local)</value> </setting> I am new to WIX so any help would be appreciated.
