1) I assume you have previously obtained permissions to the IIS [7-8] applicationHost.config file. Not just anybody can write to it.
2) It looks like you're creating an AppPool the hard way. One of the things the IIS Extension does really well is create AppPools. I would use the IIS Extension unless there's a compelling reason not to. 3) here's how I use util:XmlConfig: <util:XmlConfig Id="DeleteErrorSinkSinks" Action="delete" ElementPath="/logging/categories/error" File="[#FileEnterpriseLoggingConfig]" Node="element" On="install" Sequence="10" VerifyPath="/logging/categories/error/sinks" /> <util:XmlConfig Id="WriteErrorSink" Action="create" ElementPath="/logging/categories/error" File="[#FileEnterpriseLoggingConfig]" Node="document" On="install" Sequence="11" Value="[ERROR_INNERTEXT]" /> -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer -- ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.(r) Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 5:16 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Setting a value XmlConfig Hi I am trying to change a value setting in a config file using the following: <Component Id="Enable32BitAppPoolComponent" Guid="*" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"> <CreateFolder/> <util:XmlConfig Id="Enable32BitAppPool" Node="value" ElementPath="//configuration/system.applicationHost/applicationPools/add[\[] @name='DefaultAppPool'[\]]/@enable32BitAppOnWin64" File="[inetsrv]\config\applicationHost.config" Value="true" On="install"/> </Component> This code does not change the value in the applicationHost.config file. I tried adding the action="create" but I then got the error during the setup that it could not open the XML file. What am I doing wrong? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
