Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The Component element contains anunexpectedchildelement 'XmlFile' I traced it down to the fact that I have two components each one with its own .config file and XmlFile actions: <Component Id="Component1" Guid="5E8AF024-F2E9-4A85-A0E9-FA098D12F585"> <File Id="Component1Config" Source="Component1.exe.config" /> <util:XmlFile Id="Component1LogDirectory" Action="setValue" ElementPath="/configuration/diagnostics" File="[INSTALLDIR] Component2.exe.config" Name="logDirectory" SelectionLanguage="XPath" Value="[APPDATALOGS]" /> </Component> <Component Id="Component2" Guid="A4AD9AC4-C073-49B8-BF17-AFA4DB61CCB1"> <File Id="Component2Config" Source="Component2.exe.config" /> <util:XmlFile Id="Component2LogDirectory" Action="setValue" ElementPath="/configuration/diagnostics" File="[INSTALLDIR]Component2.exe.config" Name="logDirectory" SelectionLanguage="XPath" Value="[APPDATALOGS]" /> </Component> If I remove either of XmlFile actions then uninstall works. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Ivanoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2008 18:20 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The Component element contains anunexpected childelement 'XmlFile' Ok, XmlFile works, but now I have a problem on uninstall.
