I'm having a problem writing a value to an XML file using XmlConfig (WiX
3.0.4401). Here is a model XML file with the structure I have:
<configuration>
<myComponent>
<section name="DatabaseSettings">
<Default server="foo" database="bar"/>
</section>
<section name="MoreSettings">
...
</section>
</myComponent>
</configuration>
I need to set the server attribute of the Default element. Here is my WiX code
for XmlConfig:
<util:XmlConfig Id="WriteServerConfigValue"
Action="create"
On="install"
Node="value"
ElementPath="/configuration/myComponent/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]'DatabaseConnections'[\]]/Default"
VerifyPath="/configuration/myComponent/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]'DatabaseConnections'[\]]/Default"
Name="server"
Value="[CORRECTDATABASESERVER]"
File="[#MyXmlConfigFile]"
Sequence="1" />
When I try to run the resulting .msi, I receive an error that says "Failed to
find node:
/configuration/myComponent/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'DatabaseConnections]Default in XML
file
<My file name>, system error: -2147467259"
What concerns me is that my path delimiter ('/') is getting lost between my
section "name" attribute and my child "Default" element. Am I escaping
something wrong? Is my xpath wrong (I don't think it is, but I'm not the
greatest at xpath)? Most of the samples I've seen for XmlConfig stop after
finding a node with an attribute, not continuing to a child node thereof.
