sorry, resending without html encoding I just tried doing the same thing with xmlfile (what is the difference between the two?) as below: <util:XmlFile Id="ConfigDNSPath" File="[#Fi.config]" Sequence="1" Action="createElement" Name="Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings" ElementPath="configuration/applicationSettings" />
<util:XmlFile Id="ConfigDNSDnsServerKey" File="[#Fi.config]" Sequence="2" Action="createElement" Name="setting" ElementPath="configuration/applicationSettings/Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings" /> <util:XmlFile Id="ConfigDNSDnsServerKeyName" File="[#Fi.config]" Action="setValue" Sequence="3" Name="name" Value="DNSServer" ElementPath="configuration/applicationSettings/Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings/setting" /> <util:XmlFile Id="ConfigDNSDnsServerKeySerialize" File="[#Fi.config]" Action="setValue" Sequence="3" Name="serializeAs" Value="String" ElementPath="configuration/applicationSettings/Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings/setting[...@name='DNSServer'[\]]" /> <util:XmlFile Id="ConfigDNSDnsServerValue" File="[#Fi.config]" Sequence="4" Action="createElement" Name="value" ElementPath="configuration/applicationSettings/Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings/setting[...@name='DNSServer'[\]]" /> <util:XmlFile Id="XML.Plugin.Config.DNS.DNSServer" File="[#Fi.config]" Sequence="5" Action="setValue" Value="[CRM.PLUGIN.CONFIG.DNS.DNS_SERVER]" ElementPath="configuration/applicationSettings/Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings/setting[...@name='DNSServer'[\]]/value" /> with a config file that started out like this: <applicationSettings> <Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings> </Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings> </applicationSettings> and resulted in this (notice the extra empty elements): <applicationSettings> <Pareto.Crm.Admin.Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings> <setting name="DNSServer" serializeAs="String"> <value></value> </setting> <setting/> </Pareto.Crm.Admin.Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings> <Pareto.Crm.Admin.Plugin.Dns.Properties.Settings/> </applicationSettings> Can XmlFile not do updates? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/XmlConfig-not-referencing-other-XmlConfig-elements-tp5560885p5564080.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
