Re: [WiX-users] Token replacement in configuration files
Nothing built in today. however, you could look at XmlFile/XmlConfig to
see something similar. If you chose to write it, it would be great to
have it contributed back to the community.

Re: [WiX-users] Token replacement in configuration files
Hey Stephen,
There is a crude version of something like this I wrote. I call it Property
Loader, I am sure you could modify it a bit and get what you want.

Re: [WiX-users] Token replacement in configuration files
Not currently, no. If you choose to develop one, be sure to reset the
modification timestamp back to the creation timestamp (or set the
creation timestamp to the modification timestamp) or you will not be
able to replace that file by default again since MSI default file
versioning rules won't replace modified files (even if a CA modified it,
which Windows Installer wouldn't know).

[WiX-users] Token replacement in configuration files
Hi,
I have a configuration file in which I need to fill in some values at
install time. Eg:
plugins:logging:output = "${LOGS_DIR}/log.txt";
Is token replacement possible in WiX / msi? Is is possible to replace
${LOGS_DIR} with a value natively in wix / msi?
Thanks,
Stephen Mooney
