Hi everyone, I have a small testing (to teach myself how to do these things) installer that basically just uses util:XmlFile to edit a config file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Id="e5ea734a-3c94-45ec-946d-a8e8892e5e6a" UpgradeCode="a6f5f4cf-3632-4e0a-a3fc-322dca11bc47" Version="1.0.0.0" Language="1033" Name="GeneralSettingsChange-20121116095537" Manufacturer="Statistics Canada" Codepage="1252"> <Package InstallerVersion="300" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" /> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A later version of [ProductName] is already installed. Setup will now exit." /> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="GeneralSettingsChange-20121116095537.cab" EmbedCab="yes" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir" /> <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> <Component Id="Cad8e202a380443cc87afb147a7fb622e" Guid="2165af6f-7c55-47d8-9373-1476ba4d9ace" DiskId="1"> <util:XmlFile Id="Cad8e202a380443cc87afb147a7fb622e" Action="setValue" ElementPath="/configuration/General/add[@key='Password']" Name="value" Value="test!"

I tried an XPath testing site (http://www.mizar.dk/XPath/Default.aspx) which seems to confirm my expectations; I can only conclude that I'm missing something or there is a bug in util:XmlFile ...
