Looks like the problem is namespaces. Even though the original XML doesn't use prefixes, it does have a default namespace declaration so to use xpath on it you need to declare namespaces and use a prefix in your xpath. Docs on xmlpeek talk about namespaces and have a namespaces example.

Hey all, I have a WIX (http://wix.sf.net) file which looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";> <Product Id="F43DE0AE-204E-48E0-9EDE-BAAB91348025" Name="NAME" Language="1033" Version="VERSION" Manufacturer="MANUFACTURER"> <Package Id="????????-????-????-????-????????????" Description="DESCRIPTION" Comments="COMMENTS" InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" /> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="WebModule" EmbedCab="yes" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> ... </Directory> </Product> </Wix> I am trying to xmlpoke the Name, Version & Manufatcurer etc. values from my build script. the relevant section is: <xmlpoke file="${build.dir}/PhoneControl.wxs" value="${phonecontrol.name.human} ${phonecontrol.version} ${name.human}" xpath="//Wix/Product/@Name" /> <xmlpoke file="${build.dir}/WixFile.wxs" value="${version}" xpath="//Wix/Product/@Version" /> <xmlpoke file="${build.dir}/WixFile.wxs" value="${company}" xpath="//Wix/Product/@Manufacturer" /> <xmlpoke file="${build.dir}/WixFile.wxs" value="${description}" xpath="//Wix/Product/Package/@Description" /> <xmlpoke file="${build.dir}/WixFile.wxs" value="${comments}" xpath="//Wix/Product/Package/@Comments" /> nant outputs with the following (but doesnt error): [xmlpoke] No matching nodes were found with XPath expression '//Wix/Product/@Name'. etc. I have tried <xmlpeek property="testpeek" file="${build.dir}/PhoneControl.wxs" xpath="//Wix" verbose="true" /> to debug & this doesnt work as well. (neither does lowercasing the <wix> & xmlpeeking for //wix) can anyone point me on what is wrong with this?
