Here's a sample that demonstrates the problem: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:sql="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/SqlExtension"; xmlns:iis="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <Module Guid="02f45038-587d-4cc0-af41-0380cf378c2c" Id="TestMergeModule" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0"> <Package Id="02f45038-587d-4cc0-af41-0380cf378c2d" InstallerVersion="200" Manufacturer="Test Company" Compressed="yes" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="MANUFACTURERFOLDER" Name="Test Company"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Test Product"> <Directory Id="TESTPATH" Name="Test Path"> <Component Id="WebConfigComponent" Guid="02440d26-f08c-4b28-b037-8303314ff4dd"> <File Id="WebCONFIG" Name="Web.config" ReadOnly="no" Source="$(var.SourceDir)Web.config"/> <util:XmlFile Id="ModifyValue" Action="setValue" ElementPath="/configuration/ValueConfiguration" File="[TESTPATH]web.config" Value="Value"/> <CreateFolder/> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Module> </Wix>
If I remove the util:XmlFile line, the merge module will correctly copy web.config. With that line, I get "failure to configure XML files" error, and web.config has not been copied.
