Re: [WiX-users] Which is best to use in my case: XmlFile or XmlConfig?
Okay I do have this working now, but have one more question on this... If the element keys exists and you only have to change the values then we can simply use the XmlFile action="setvalue" method. If the element keys do not exist then I had to use the XmlFile action="createElement" and a few "setValue entries to get it to work. So my question is if there is a way to determine if the element key exists or not so that if it needs creating then the correct method is used? Or is there a method that can be used in both cases where if it does exist then it will simply modify the value, but if it does not exist it will create it and set the correct value?

Re: [WiX-users] Which is best to use in my case: XmlFile or XmlConfig?
Hi Tim, Please see (much further) below an implementation I use. It will turn this: Into: And on uninstall will remove the bits it has created. Most of the time I do MajorUpgrades, so I control the content in the original config file, which means I can get away with a simple XMLFile command to set the value. I only use XMLConfig when I'm poking around in files that aren't actually mine as I need to be able to back out my changes on uninstall and XMLFile isn't too good at this. Anyway, on to the code (names have been changed to protect identities): Before you implement this, please understand what it does and (most importantly) what you are trying to achieve.

Yes. XmlFile is create for setting things that already exist. If you need more than that, I tend to choose XmlConfig.

Re: [WiX-users] Which is best to use in my case: XmlFile or XmlConfig?
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?

You need to escape the [] in the ElementPath as these have special meaning to the installer. -- 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 3:35 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Which is best to use in my case: XmlFile or XmlConfig?

I believe the File comes before the Value... Also I think the File Location needs a backslash.

Re: [WiX-users] Which is best to use in my case: XmlFile or XmlConfig?
Okay I am re-looking at the XmlConfig method as described in the following link: http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/mailman/message/20326106/ And when I use the example that is in that link I get the following failure in the install: Failed to find node: //configuration/appSettings/add[@key='ServiceInfo'] in XML file: C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\Product\Product.exe.config, system error: -2147020584 So I have some configuration wrong to get this error, but what is it??? Has anyone used the Util:XmlConfig element to update/add data to an app.config file?

[WiX-users] Which is best to use in my case: XmlFile or XmlConfig?
Okay newbie question here concerning the updating of a .config file during install, using WiX 3.7. I was given the task to update a new .config file during our install and I found the documentation for XmlConfig Element (Util Extension): http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/util/xmlconfig.html And XmlFile Element (Util Extension): http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/util/xmlfile.html Now I have never used these before and have not updated a .xml file during install so I was trying to find examples for these. There are a few examples out there, but the one problem I am running into is the ElementPath entry. I have not found out how it is set, meaning what values are expected and where do you get or know what the values are suppose to be... So how do I find out what I am supposed to enter in for ElementPath and should I be using Xmlfile or Xmlconfig? The information I was given to update the .config file was only: Add 2 keys to the .config file: 1. ServiceInfo with value of [LYNC_SERVER_ADDRESS] 2. ClientMode with value of [CLIENT_MODE] - can be one of 3 values - Room, Personal, or Thin I was also given an example of the pairs in the application .config file: ... ... So can anyone help me in how this is configured in my WiX project and how I determine what the ElementPath should be or how I can get the information to know how it should be set? Thanks for any and all help that can be provided. -- 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-tp7594691.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.
