0x8007006E = -2147024786 = "The system cannot open the file or device
specified." (from WinXP SP2)
My guess is that it's a path issue. Perhaps there's some way you can
figure out what your working path is at that point? I think it's probably
the path to the MSI, but I'm not sure.

[WiX-users] XmlConfig referencing property from merge module
Greetings,
We have a framework implemented as a merge module that will be
used in multiple products. We would like the merge module to perform
framework configuration of our .NET assemblies using XmlConfig.
The issue I have run into, and am looking for guidance on, is that our
configuration file name changes depending upon the product, and it
appears that the merge module is unable to find the file defined by
the property in the product setup.
In our product.wxs:
<Property Id="CONFIG_FILE" Value="SomeAssembly.config" />
(this Id is then used to copy the File without error)
In our module.wxs:
<util:XmlConfig Id="ConfigSectionCachingAdd" File="[CONFIG_FILE]" ...
Upon installation, I get an error:
"Failed to open XML file SomeAssembly.config, system error: -2147024786"
So I know it has got the property name, so it smelt like a path issue,
until I change the property to contain the full path and it still failed.
Is this the correct approach to take?
If so, any ideas as to where I'm going wrong?
Thanks for any help. I'm using Wix 3.0.3516.
cheers

p.s. I thought the error number was the lowest bounds of signed int32,
but that's -2,147,483,648, so perhaps it actually means something? :)
