Subject: Re: [WiX-users] XmlFile can't create a child element There's a space in the Name attribute. Other than that, it looks like it should work. If that's not the problem, can you post the xml please ? -----Original Message----- From: Kjartan Þór Kjartansson [mailto:kjar...@fivedegrees.is] Sent: 31 May 2012 12:42 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] XmlFile can't create a child element Hi, I'm having a problem with using XmlFile to make changes to a configuration file. I'm trying to build the database appender configuration for log4net and I always get this error: ExecXmlFile: Error 0x80004005: failed to create child element: conversionPattern The source for generating this element is: <Component Id="ComponentName" Guid="<GUID>" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" KeyPath="yes"> <util:XmlFile Id="ComponentName" File="[#fil9821DC700FB1F32609450B3033F099B7]" Action="createElement" ElementPath="/configuration/log4net/appender [\[]@name = 'DatabaseAppender'[\]]/parameter[\[]parameterName [\[]substring(@value, 2) = 'thread'[\]][\]]/layout [\[]@type = 'log4net.Layout.PatternLayout'[\]]" Name="conversionPattern " SelectionLanguage="XPath" Sequence="76" /> <Condition> <![CDATA[ DATABASELOGGING = "true" ]]> </Condition> </Component> If I change the ElementPath I get an error saying that the path can't be found, so XmlFile can apparently find the parent element, but isn't able to create a child for some reason. I can find no information on this error via Google so I'm hoping someone here has run into a similar problem and point me in the right direction Best regards, Kjartan Þór Kjartan Thor Kjartansson<http://www.fivedegrees.nl/AboutUs/OurStaff#have-you-met:Kjartan> Software Developer Five Degrees Borgartún 26 Reykjavik Iceland T: +354 551 0510 www.fivedegrees.nl<http://www.fivedegrees.nl/> E-mail and attachments sent by Five Degrees employees may contain confidential and privileged information and are only intended for the addressee.
