Summary: XmlFile action does not work with utf-16 encoded XML
Initial Comment:
A util:XmlFile action fails on an XML with utf-16 encoding with the following
error:
ExecXmlFile: Error 0x8007006e: failed to load XML file:
C:\<MyDirectory>\Config.xml
Sample component:
<Component Id="ConfigFile" Guid="YOUR-GUID-HERE" DiskId="1">
<File Id="Config.xml" Name="Config.xml" ReadOnly="no" Vital="yes"
KeyPath="yes" />
<util:XmlFile Id ="Config_DBName" File="[INSTALLLOCATION]Config.xml"
Action="setValue" ElementPath="//Config/DBName" Value="[DB_NAME]"/>
</Component>
Sample Config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Config>
<DBName>DatabaseName</DBName>
</Config>
If the encoding in Config.xml is changed to "utf-8", then the XmlFile action
succeeds.

The XmlFile action does support both utf-8 and utf-16 encoded XML. This
error is because the encoding in the file is labeled as "utf-16" in the
"<?xml>" tag, but the file isnt saved in a utf-16 encoding. The same error
happens if the "<?xml>" tag says "utf-8" and the file is saved in "utf-16"
encoding.
Because of this, I believe the behavior is by design.
