I believe that adding an XmlFile element inside of a Component will add an action to the install sequence that will do the XML writing. That would happen during the installation, not at the end. Is it a hard requirement that this only be performed at the end? All actions that change the state of th

If I understand, the new MSI will have a single file that can be used on any OS? And the other OS-specific files will be removed/replaced? A major upgrade should work well. It will uninstall the old files and then install the new files. (Not necessarily in that order). So you'll essentially be wo

Wix only packages the files you tell it to, so I would look at your WXS file to see if the .config file is referenced. Which config file are you trying to modify? Is it one for your CA DLL or the managed utility DLL, or is this a setting you want to update for the installed application? Is the
