Yes, these are configuration files of another existing application (not
mine).
I must append my text to the text file in order to add this specific feature
(yes, the user can choose to add it or not)

Ah! So we're talking about user specific data huh.
Generally speaking, users take a very dim view of an installation
modifying anything they have modified, so I think that supporting rollback
is probably not appropriate in this instance.
My next question would be this. Why is your installation modifying files
that, from what you have said so far, appear to belong to something else?
(You have said that the target text file is only used by one component, but
it seems the target file is not a part of that component otherwise you
wouldn't be appending to it). It's fair enough if the modifications are in
shared configuration files and there is no other option, but otherwise I
wouldn't consider it good behavior in an installation. (I don't know what
others around here think… hopefully someone else may chime in soon!) At the
very least, you should probably also provide a user interface allowing them
to decide if they want your installation to make those changes.
I guess I'm still missing something here….

It's simpler than that.
I have a few text lines I need to append into an existing text file. This
target text file will be used only by *one* component, in my own single
installation.
However, once the installation is complete, the user might add (on his
own, manually) more text lines - after the lines my installation added.
