Re: [WiX-users] Burn error with document folder on network location (works fine running only the msi)
I have changed the code for using XmlConfig instead of XmlFile, but the result is the same:The file is installed correctly but when the XmlFile or the XmlConfig try to access the file to change an elment of the xml fileit report an error that say that it can't find the Drive on network, and the setup fail. Any other way to try? It could be that when I install the setup run as another administrator user (different from the current user) so it can't see the network location as it is specific for the current user ??? This problem is blocking me, and I can't find a working way with WiX for doing this installation.Thanks for any support.

Install the file to the Documents folder 2. Edit the file in place after it's been installed I've often seen people posting about having problems using XmlFile. I have always used the XmlConfig element instead and haven't had any problems. You might get less trouble by switching. Can you show the XmlFile that you're using?

Re: [WiX-users] Burn error with document folder on network location (works fine running only the msi)
/1) First try - I have installed the file on the Document's folder and the modified it with the wix extension XmlFile.this work for coping the file but fail to modify it as reported the error that it can't find the file to modify/ Some questions I have: 1. What error are you seeing? 2. What are you trying to do? Copying, in my mind, means that you want to have the file in two places -- the Documents folder and somewhere else. Or, do you simply want to install the file to the Documents folder and have that be the only place that the file exists? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-error-with-document-folder-on-network-location-works-fine-running-only-the-msi-tp7598703p7598709.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!

[WiX-users] Burn error with document folder on network location (works fine running only the msi)
I need to copy an xml file on the User Document's folder and I need to change some attribute of the elements inside the xml file based on user choices during setup.If the user has the document's folder located on a network path the setup fail as it can't locate the location. I have made this inside the msi package:1) First try - I have installed the file on the Document's folder and the modified it with the wix extension XmlFile.this work for coping the file but fail to modify it as reported the error that it can't find the file to modify2) Second try - I have installed the file on a temp folder on local machine and the using the XmlFile extension change the file and then I have copied it to the Document's folder using a Custom Action (using the stream reader and writer to read and the write the new file as using System.File.Copy report an error).This second way seem working fine using the msi package, as it can install without problems even with users that have the Document's folder located on a network path. The problem now is with Burn:I have made a Burn exe package running the msi package and now if I run the setup it report an error as it can't locate the network path. So where could be the problem? Wich are the differences running the single msi and the Burn package?The runs with different users? (if it run with an administrative user that is not the current user it could not see the nethwork path where is located the document's folder for the current user)Or they runs with differents priviledges? as the msi can copy the file with the stream writer inside the custom action but running it insode Burn It can't find the destination path for priviledges problems?
