Hello Carter,
Thanks for your quick reply, unfortunately this does not work as the problem is
not with the preconfigured XML file, but with which executable owns the ISO
area after its created by the installer. (C# Custom Action or ISOTest.exe).
This can be observed from the "store.AssemblyIdentity" property.
The if (File.Exists("RemotingConfig.xml")) test was merely to test that the
file was included in the project build.
In a DEBUG build (where "store.AssemblyIdentity" = ISOTest) the C# Custom
Action (separate project in the solution) creates an ISO area by calling the
target assembly's "ISOTest.ExposeIsolatedStorage.GetIsolatedStorage()" method
and produces an ISO which IS accessible to the ISOTest.exe application after
installation. The Custom Action also copies the pre-configured
"RemotingConfig.xml" file to that area. So everything is OK for this build.
In a RELEASE build (where "store.AssemblyIdentity" = CustomAction) the C#
Custom Action (separate project in the solution) creates an ISO area by calling
the target assemblies "ISOTest.ExposeIsolatedStorage.GetIsolatedStorage()"
method and produces its own ISO which is NOT accessible to the ISOTest.exe
application after installation. The Custom Action also copies the
pre-configured "RemotingConfig.xml" file to its own area, but obviously
ISOTest.exe cannot access area.
There is some difference between the DEBUG & RELEASE builds in VS that affects
this which I cannot find or understand.
Cheers,
Paul

it's install.
Change:
try
...
isoFileStream = new
IsolatedStorageFileStream("RemotingConfig.xml", FileMode.Create, store);
to:
try
...
isoFileStream = new
IsolatedStorageFileStream(String.Concat(Application.StartupPath,"RemotingConfig.xml",
FileMode.Create, store));
Or add:
if not File.exists(String.Concat(Application.StartupPath,"RemotingConfig.xml")
{
file.create(String.Concat(Application.StartupPath,"RemotingConfig.xml")
isoFileStream = new
IsolatedStorageFileStream("RemotingConfig.xml",FileMode.Create, store); } else {
isoFileStream = new
IsolatedStorageFileStream("RemotingConfig.xml",FileMode.Create, store); }
