>From the documentation:
"ElementPath : String : The XPath of the element to be modified. Note that
this is a formatted field and therefore, square brackets in the XPath must
be escaped."
To escape square brackets, use [\[] and [\]], so your XPath needs to be
/redirections/redirection[\[]last()[\]]
Otherwise Windows Installer thinks [last()] is a property and tries to
evaluate it, and an error occurs as () aren't valid in a property name.
This feature is present to allow properties to be used to control the XPath.

Subject: [WiX-users] WIX XML manipulation
Hi
I need to modify an XML file and create several nodes with the same name
<redirections xmlns="msmq-queue-redirections.xml">
<redirection>
<from>https://external_host/*</from>
<to>http://internal_host/msmq/internal_queue</to>
</redirection>
<redirection>
<from>https://external_host/*</from>
<to>http://internal_host/msmq/internal_queue</to>
</redirection>
<redirection>
...
</redirection>
</redirections>
Does anyone know how to add new <redirection> node and then 'from' and 'to'
nodes and set their values? I know that the script below can create a new
node but I can not get to it then. When I try to modify the 'to' and'from'
values it changes them in the first <redirection> node. If I use
/redirections/redirection[last()] I get an error. Seems like WIX doesn't
fully support XPATH
