Yes. XmlFile is create for setting things that already exist. If you need more than that, I tend to choose XmlConfig.
Note that I usually write the XPath to the element, and then write to the attribute as specified in "Name." -- 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: TimM [mailto:timmay...@smarttech.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 5:00 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Which is best to use in my case: XmlFile or XmlConfig? Well I created the Sample and it worked correctly, using exactly what was shown. So then I simply substituted my app.config file with the sample.config file and built and ran the test again and it failed? So I figured that it was my .config file that was the issue, but then I simply added the following entry to the .config file: <add key="ServiceLocation" value="localhost"/> Ran the test again and this time it worked... So that implies that if the key that is to be updated does not exist then it will fail??? So if a key entry is not there then it has to be created and a value set to it, but according to that last link it shows that it will create and set the value. So why did it not work for me? I guess more work is required, what a pain as I have been looking at this for most of the day......... -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Which-is-best-to-use-in-my-case-XmlFile-or-XmlConfig-tp7594691p7594720.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
