Use an immediate custom action that runs just after AppSearch to load the file, process the XPATH, and load the appropriate MSI property with the value.

Scenario: During an install a dialog prompts the user for a port number. That port number is written to an application config file using the WIXUtilExtension XmlFile custom action element. During an upgrade install, I would prefer that the dialog present the port number which was read from the application config file.
