[WiX-users] Change content of the config file based on [ComputerName]
Hi,
I want to change the content of the config file based on the machine
(SPECHW01,SPECHW02..) the MSI gets deployed.Below is the content of the
file and node Param I want to change.
scheduling
agent
http://web.service/keepalive.aspx
LogActivitytrue/LogActivity
/agent
/scheduling
if the file is getting deployed on machine SPECHW01 then change the
content of file web.config. Below is the node Param I want to change to.
scheduling
agent
http://web1.service/keepalive.aspx
LogActivitytrue/LogActivity
/agent
/scheduling
if the MSI is deployed on machine SPECHW02 the content of Web.config needs
to be changed as below for node param.
scheduling
agent
http://web2.service/keepalive.aspx
LogActivitytrue/LogActivity
/agent
/scheduling
Below is the component where I need to make it work. and component need to
verify the machine it gets installed and change the contents of the file.

/Component
Thanks in Advance

Re: [WiX-users] Change content of the config file based on [ComputerName]
Hmm,
I think I would have one config file and conditionally modify it with CA's
like XmlFile/XmlConfig. I'd also try to eliminate the machine name dependency
and instead use a dev/test/live burn bundle passing a parameter via a
MsiProperty to the installer.

Re: [WiX-users] Change content of the config file based on [ComputerName]
The Issue I am working on is for Production environment where content of Web.config is different for 5 machines at below node. scheduling agent http://web.service/keepalive.aspx LogActivitytrue/LogActivity /agent /scheduling For other environments we have only one web.config for each. But we have 5 different for PROD. And I don't want to place all 5 on all the machines ,So that was the reason I want to modify the node based on the conditions during Installation .Condition can be Environment and ComputerName. I was looking for some thing how to write CA's like XmlFile/XmlConfig where having more than one condition to satisfy.Please point out me good source.

Re: [WiX-users] Change content of the config file based on [ComputerName]
The better option is to have one Web.config file and 6 other components (containing the XmlFile elements) with conditions on them for writing the appropriate values. Not that I like the idea, but you could have 6 Components with a Web.config in each and a Condition element for each component based on the machine name http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368009(v=vs.85).aspx. -Original Message- From: chennam [mailto:chatrapathi.chen...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2013 1:54 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Change content of the config file based on [ComputerName] The Issue I am working on is for Production environment where content of Web.config is different for 5 machines at below node. scheduling agent http://web.service/keepalive.aspx LogActivitytrue/LogActivity /agent /scheduling For other environments we have only one web.config for each.
