While I know WIX is supposed to be the way to go - I've been hoping I can avoid 
learning it for now and continue to use the setup process using Visual Studio 
Setup Projects by the well documented process to run devenv to create the MSI 
file using the VS Setup Project.

This is for a Windows Forms Application.

The issue I can't figure out how to get around - some process seems to put a 
"lock" on the app.config file.  I can successfully modify AssemblyInfo.cs all 
day long - but I'm trying to use the "TransformXML" MSBuild Task (I've tried 
both MSBuild Task and writing a custom task)

I am successful transforming the file - but I need to copy it back over the 
"app.config" in the source tree - so when devenv.exe invokes to create the MSI 
file - it has the modified one.

But every method of trying to overwrite the "app.config" shows that the file is 
in use.  Any idea what is holding on to that file and why I can't overwrite it?

I'm currently using a modified "Default" Xaml Workflow and doing it after the 
"Get Workspace" task (naturally).
