Here is the situation. I have a configuration file that on installation in
release mode I use the XmlFile task to remove a section of the file. In debug I
also use XmlFile to modify one of the elements in the file. Is what I am
finding is that if I do a release installation followed by a debug installation
the element that I am looking for is not found and the installation fails. If I
look at the configuration file the section is missing. I was expecting the
whole file to be copied to the installation folder (overwriting the release
edited file) before I try the debug editing but apparently that is not
happening. Is there some rule within WiX that it will not overwrite a file if
it exists? If so can I override this behavior?
The applicable WiX code looks like:
<Component Id="CMP_WpfAppConfig" Guid="*" Directory="WPFINSTALLDIR">
<File Id="FILE_WpfAppConfig"
Source="../WPFHost/app.Config"
KeyPath="yes"/>
. . . . .
<?if $(var.Configuration) = "Debug" ?>
<util:XmlFile Id="WpfAppConfig14" File="[WPFINSTALLDIR]app.Config"
Action="setValue" Name="initializeData" Value="f:\applog\app_tracelog.svclog"
ElementPath="//configuration/system.diagnostics/sharedListeners/add[\[]@name="ServiceModelTraceListener"[\]]"
Sequence="14" />
<?endif ?>
<?if $(var.Configuration) = "Release" ?>
<util:XmlConfig Id="WpfAppConfig15" Action="delete"
ElementPath="//configuration" File="[WPFINSTALLDIR]app.Config" Node="element"
On="install" Sequence="15" VerifyPath="system.diagnostics" />
<util:XmlConfig Id="WpfAppConfig16" Action="delete"
ElementPath="//configuration/system.serviceModel"
File="[WPFINSTALLDIR]app.Config" Node="element" On="install" Sequence="16"
VerifyPath="diagnostics" />
<?endif ?>
Thank you.
