Hi Bob, Thanks for the thought. I checked this out when I started having trouble, actually, along with removing the reference and putting it back in manually.

Re: [WiX-users] Question about using XmlFile (WixUtilExtension.dll in general, actually)
Hi James, Yes, we're referencing the DLL in the project. Here's our situation: - We have an existing WIX installer that we are already using to deliver a product to customers, originally created with Visual Studio 2008 and WIX 3 - We're adding to the installer now, part of the additions being to edit our Product.exe.config file upon install, so we want to use the XmlFile functions to do that. - Most of our developers have upgraded to Visual Studio 2010, which more or less necessitated upgrading WIX to 3.5, but a few have not so we have both sorts of dev systems available (and therefore, obviously, two 'solutions') - We added xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; to our wix code, and made sure the WixUtilExtension.dll is referenced in our project (it already was, but we deleted it and re-added it just to be completely sure) - We've added sample code to our installer that tries to use util:XmlFile - Given all that, the VC2008/Wix 3.0 version compiles and the VC2010/Wix 3.5 does not. Near as we can tell everything is equivalent but compiler version and Wix version. This is just one of those weird problems that's "fun" to try and track down. Thanks...

Re: [WiX-users] Question about using XmlFile (WixUtilExtension.dll in general, actually)
Thanks for the response Chad. I do indeed have the xmlns:util setup at the top of my WIX source file. Do you use WIX 3.0 or 3.5? We moved to Visual Studio 2010 with WIX 3.5, but interestingly enough a machine that still has Visual 2008 and WIX 3.0 works fine with the same code (XmlFile and all). -Dave On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 11:42 AM, Chad Petersen wrote: > Try adding the xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; > schema to the top of the file that has the XmlFile element in it. > > Mine looks like this > > http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; > xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; > xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> > > -Original Message- > From: Dave DaveLists [mailto:dbfli...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 8:50 AM > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Question about using XmlFile (WixUtilExtension.dll > in general, actually) > > Ah, yes, sorry.

[WiX-users] Question about using XmlFile (WixUtilExtension.dll in general, actually)
Hello all, We are trying to connect up XmlFile functions to our installer and had some interesting problems. Adding a reference to the DLL to the project and including a namespace in the wxs file - using something like xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; we expected to be able to reference XmlFile using util:XmlFile but this is failing at compile time. We are using Visual Studio 2010 and WIX 3.5. Interestingly enough we have a slightly older Visual Studio 2008 project with WIX 3.0 installed on another developer's computer and the same code works. IntelliSense knows about the "util" namespace and a sample reference to util:XmlFile compiles fine. Anyone run into this and solved it? WIX docs suggests this should work in 3.5 just like it did in 3.0 so it's odd.
