Stephen,

There were some challenges to over come with xmlfile about amonth ago – I forget the bug trackinh numbers but I too had many problems uninstalling xml for web, exe and machine.config files. I gave up and used a customaction vbs – to my eternal shame.

Hi,

I want to add some config handlers to machine.config during setup so I’m using <xmlfile>.

This works fine when I install: the expected elements are added to machine.config. However, I want these elements to be removed when I uninstall and I can’t figure out how to do this. My <xmlfile> component looks like this:

<XmlFile Id='topElement'

File='C:\test.xml'

Action=''

Name='topElement'

Sequence='1'

Permanent='no'

ElementPath='//configuration'/>

<XmlFile Id='extensions'

File='C:\test.xml'

Action=''

Name='extensions'

Sequence='2'

Permanent='no'

ElementPath='//configuration/topElement'/>

</Component>

Am I doing something wrong here? (apart from writing to C:\test.xml – I’m not quite ready to actually edit my machine.config file yet)

Thanks,

Stephen
