Wix only packages the files you tell it to, so I would look at your WXS file to see if the .config file is referenced.
Which config file are you trying to modify? Is it one for your CA DLL or the managed utility DLL, or is this a setting you want to update for the installed application? Is there a reason you wouldn't pass the connection string information as custom action data if you need to pass it to the custom action DLL? (Assuming you want to modify your installed applications config file, you should assign a property the value you want to use, and then use XmlFile/XmlConfig to allow the installer to modify the file.) Runtime of the installer or runtime of your application? -----Original Message----- From: StevenOgilvie [mailto:sogil...@msn.com] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2012 11:11 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] app.config within my customaction dll... Hi all, I have a custom action dll (C# custom action dll) that calls a managed utility dll… We need to update the connecton string, so I have placed it in the app.config… When the installer is packaged, does the app.config (well the name of project.dll.config file) get packaged with it as well? how can the c# custom action dll interact with it? At runtime where is the app.config located? And the custom action dll?
