Thanks Blair The verbose log says that the component is already installed, so it won't perform any action. I guess I have to explicitly modify the install action for the appropriate components? Is there a WiX standard CA to perform this? I assume it'd just need to look at the WiX_InstallState property (I'm sure I've got the naming of that wrong.. but it has 'Change' when performing a Change install action)

What about the features that contain those components? What are you triggering for repair when you select "Change"? -Blair > From: kaize...@hotmail.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2013 22:52:37 +1100 > Subject: [WiX-users] Getting XmlFile 'Components' to be re-triggered when executing a Change 'install' > > Hi again, > > I've got another problem I'd like some help with... > I need to make some modifications to a web.config file to push in a > certificate to use for some Web Service stuff I've got. > The initial installation of this works beautifully, the web.config > file gets modified using the XmlFile custom action under a component. > However during a 'Change' installation, I would like for the user to > be able to choose an alternative certificate. > > How would I get the XmlFile 'Components' to be re-installed in this > situation, or for the XmlFile CustomAction to be re-called with the > appropriate properties (which are already defined in the XmlFile element). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
