A cosmetic bug, I should have changed the idea to match the activity.
Something like DeleteAddElement.

I would use util:XmlConfig as it is far more powerful than util:XmlFile for
this problem.
<util:XmlConfig Id="CreateFirstAddElement"
Action="delete"
ElementPath="/configuration/product/Deploy/Servers"
File="[#FileWebConfig]"
Name="add"
Node="element"
On="install"
Sequence="1"
VerifyPath="/configuration/product/Deploy/Servers/add[\[]@key='[SERVER]'[\]]" />
In this example the code looks for an "add" element at XPAT
/configuration/product/Deploy/Servers, and if the key matches the value in the
SERVER property, it deletes it.

So, to be clear, you want to remove the whole <add/> element?

Hi Carter,
Thanks for your reply.
I have gone through the link you provided. But it will delete the attribute
value only it will not remove the entire Key.
I want to remove the entire key from the web.config.
Thanks
Bala

Please read this Blog Post:

25-installable-items-updating-xml-files-using-xmlfile.aspx
Even though this post refers to app.config, the same principles apply to
web.config
