Hi, To my knowledge Wix will not modify an xml file unless you specifically author it to do so (see xmlconfig or xmlfile).
Your error message looks like a SxS dependency issue, is your app a visual C++ application and you have not installed the runtimes? Try (dave) dependency walker on your app on the test machine to see if there is anything missing. http://www.dependencywalker.com/ Dave W. -----Original Message----- From: brendan_rice [mailto:brendan_r...@hotmail.com] Sent: 13 August 2009 16:37 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix Confile File Garbled Format Here is the error message I get --------------------------- C:\Program Files\Myfolder\My.exe --------------------------- C:\Program Files\Myfolder\My.exe This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
