Summary: XmlFile - Improved Error Handling

Initial Comment:
Invalid source xml file causes a confusing "file not
found" error message.  An "invalid xml" or "failed to
parse" etc. message would be more useful in debuging
installers.

(Not sure if this is the right form to submit a follow-up, 
but here goes...)

Yes - that is the error message I got.  The extract from 
the msiexec log is -

"ExecXmlFile:  Error 0x8007006e: failed to load XML file: 
C:\Program Files\CODA\CODA-Control Assessor\Web.config
Error 25531. Failed to open XML file C:\Program 
Files\CODA\CODA-Control Assessor\Web.config, system error: -
2147024786"

My suggestion is that the message is changed to reflect the 
reason why the XML file failed to load (i.e. its ill-
formed).  I assumed that it couldn't be found (but I supose 
on relection that that would have resulted in a "file not 
fould" error?).

Hope that helps

Can you provide a log excerpt with the exact error message?
The message for a missing file or a file that isn't
well-formed is

"failed to load XML file: %S"
