I'm using the WixUtilExtension, and specifically XmlFile, to conditionally
configure a list of items that eventually appear in a GUI combo box. I have
several check boxes on an installer dialog and when each is checked (true) I
want to write to an element into a configeration file. Initially the
configuration looks like this:
<dropdown name="cmbProduce">
<value code="-" en="" fr=""></value>
</dropdown>
After checking three boxes I expect the configuration to look somethinng like
this:
<dropdown name="cmbProduce">
<value code="-" en="" fr=""></value>
<value code="APPLES" en="Apples" fr="="Pomme"></value>
<value code="GRAPES" en="Grapes" fr=" Raisin"></value>
<value code="PINEAPPLE" en="Pineapple" fr="Ananas"></value>
</dropdown>
Below is the real output. The "value" element that was already there has been
deleted. Three new "value" elements are inserted but only the last to be
inserted has any attributes. The other two elements are empty.
<dropdown name="cmbProduce">
<value code="PINEAPPLE" en="Pineapple" fr="Ananas"/></value><value/>
</dropdown>
Each component tested alone writes correctly to the config file, except for
deleting the initial element. It's only when I've selected 2 or more items that
the output gets corrupted.
The sample of the installer markup is below. If anyone anyone can offer
suggestions on fixing the output it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rick
