In your Value= line you will need to escape the square brackets. XMLConfig mentions this in the Value Attribute Description column.

With my application the following NHibernate.config file is used: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2"> <session-factory> <property name="connection.provider">NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvide r</property> <property name="proxyfactory.factory_class">NHibernate.ByteCode.LinFu.ProxyFactory Factory, NHibernate.ByteCode.LinFu</property> <property name="connection.driver_class">NHibernate.Driver.MySqlDataDriver</proper ty> <property name="connection.connection_string">Database=schemaname;Data Source=localhost;User Id=username;Password=password</property> <property name="dialect">NHibernate.Dialect.MySQLDialect </property> </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration> The configuration file is set up to be used from the Visual Studio environment. In my Wix file, I have the following entry: <util:XmlConfig Id='MySqlConnectionProperty' File='[INSTALLDIR]\NHibernate.config' Action='create' ElementPath='//hibernate-configuration/session-factory/propert...@name=" connection.connection_string"\]' Node='value' Value='Database=[MYSQLSCHEMA];Data Source=[MYSQLHOSTNAME];User Id=[MYSQLUSERNAME];Password=[MYSQLPASSWORD]' Sequence='1' On='install'/> With this XmlConfig entry, I try to modify the value of the connection string in the NHibernate.config file according to the settings specified by the user during the installation. The MYSQLxxx parameters are collected in one of the custom dialogs. During the run of the Xml linker, the following error occurs: LGHT0204 : ICE03: Invalid format string; Table: XmlConfig, Column: ElementPath, Key(s): MySqlConnectionProperty Can anyone help me out here?
