Steven, Thanks I was using that but decided to try a different approach. Just a quick question as appcmd is not available on iis 6 do you use another method or do you not support it?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setting a value XmlConfig Hi John, I haven't done anything regarding permissions, although I am writing to it on a different component and that seems to be working. I am not trying to create a AppPool as I am using the default, I am just trying to change the enable32BitAppOnWin64 from false to true.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setting a value XmlConfig 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.
