The issue was operator error. :(
I was trying to modify an attribute using the following:
<util:XmlConfig Id="XmlConfigId"
File="[#FileId]"
Action="create"
Node="value"
On="install"
ElementPath="/xpath/to/element"
Name="@attributeName"
Value="[ATTRIBUTE.VALUE]"/>
Notice how I've specified Name as @attributeName with the @ sign. That's
incorrect usage. The correct format is:
<util:XmlConfig Id="XmlConfigId"
File="[#FileId]"
Action="create"
Node="value"
On="install"
ElementPath="/xpath/to/element"
Name="attributeName"
Value="[ATTRIBUTE.VALUE]"/>
Unfortunately, ExecXmlConfig didn't provide anything useful in the log to tell
me that my value was specified incorrectly. It just failed silently. :(
