Discussion in the archives of this mailing list. In summary, XmlFile was first. XmlFile doesn't handle repair or uninstall well (or at all, in some cases). XmlConfig came second and addresses many of the issues in XmlFile. XmlConfig syntax is a bit more complicated to handle all those scenarios. XmlFile is easy to use if you're going to just tweak a file being installed with your application (like web.config or app.config) when that file will be uninstalled when your app is uninstalled. XmlConfig can be made to handle all the other scenarios...

Subject: [WiX-users] XmlConfig vs XmlFile I am a little bit confused by existence of both XmlFile and XmlConfig. Is there any docs/posts/etc on where to use which? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
