Look in a verbose log file and check that your Component is actually being installed.

I'm trying to use XmlConig to modify an existing file on the computer. Below is a testconfiguration that I have started with to see if I can make XmlConfig to do want I want it to do. When I run the installtion no errors are reported, the dummy.xml is installed but the c:\temp\settings.xml is not modified. I think I have got the ElementPath right, I have tried using "XmlFile" with the same ElementPath on a file that is installed by the package and then the file is modified. I have logged the the installation and the XmlConfig is called. Has any one any idea of what i'm doing wrong?
