Hi,
        You probably could get around this by doing a file search for
the web.config and then using the resultant property as a condition on
whether to install the template web.config.

Alternatively you may find it much easier to just create a new website
in IIS and install the web.config to that, this is what our installers
do. Dealing with what already is on the machine is a bit of a nightmare
as you are trying to update a shared resource and your settings may
cause other applications problems. Of course this may not be possible
for you depending on what your requirements are.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to create or modify a web.config file in
IIS root directory?


i changed one line, i removed the <file ...> element and wrote
<createfolder/> (without it i couldnt compile) existing web.config files
will be correctly modified and by uninstall the only the new modified
conent will be deleted :) BUT if no web.config files already exists, the
setup crashs with (cant open web.config file) :(

how to make a if, else or something like this?
if(web.config not exists)
<file...>
else
<createfolder/>
