Re: [WiX-users] failed install, error is Failed to open XML file
The installer copies two files; an exe and a config (the xml file) into the same directory (finally got that to work!). The next thing I need to do is update the xml config file with the 3 command line parameters being supplied during a silent install. Currently I am just testing 1 parameter with a command line like this...

Ok, I got a successful compile using... ElementPath=/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings /setting[...@key='project'[\]]/value/ I just figured it out when I got this last reply. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8 ? configuration configSections ... /configSections applicationSettings Roll_Call.Properties.Settings setting name=project serializeAs=String valuedefault/value /setting /Roll_Call.Properties.Settings /applicationSettings /configuration Since my xml looks like the above and my goal is to change the text default in the value tag, I was erroneously trying to alter an attribute of an unspecified tag with an attribute called value (the ElementPath=/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings /setting[...@key='project'[\]]/@value I used earlier). Can the documentation of ElementPath in the XmlFile\XmlConfig include a sample of the proper escape sequence...and maybe a link to a XPATH tutorial?

If you want /configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setti...@ke y='project']/@value You must supply /configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setting[\[] @key='project'[\]]/@value What you had in the original message had an extra [ in it.

Blair, Yes I was speaking of the installer's command line parameter. I have been reading over some blogs and examples and I want to make sure I have this correct.

[WiX-users] silent install, command line, parameter and writting to registry or file
Hello All, I have a small project that is a windows service, but I need to make an installer to run via the command line and pass 3 parameters that will be used to set the configuration in the registry or the apps config file. I also need to run the generated msi from the command line for silent installs (network install pushed from an administrator). Is the possible with WiX? And if so where can I find guidance on its implementation? All the best! Chris -- Come build with us!
