In general, path properties in WiX and in MSI installers in general already have a trailing '\'. However, I hate the [INSTALLDIR]Remotelnk.exe.config idiom. If you're installing this file (and almost certainly you are), give it a File@Id element. Then you can reference it's absolute path directly. For example, if the File@Id was FileRemotelnkConfig, you could get the path using [#FileRemotelnkConfig].
Finally, order doesn't matter in XML (in general). -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Carter Young [mailto:ecyo...@grandecom.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 3:43 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Which is best to use in my case: XmlFile or XmlConfig?
