Hi
I am using WiX 3.0. I have XML-Files like this:
A)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<Config>
<Settings>
</Settings>
</Config>
B)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<Config>
<Settings>
<Key name="Setting1" value="yes"/>
<Key name="Setting2" value="1"/>
</Settings>
</Config>
The Key elements can be exists before the installation is running (like
B) or not (like A). If the Key element does not exist I want to set the
two key elements, but if there are already present I don't want to
insert new key elements. Any idea how to do this with XMLConfig or
XMLFile?
Frist try:
<util:XmlConfig Id='I1'
VerifyPath="/Config/Settings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Setting1'[\]]"
Action='create' ElementPath='/Config/Settings' File='c:\Settings.xml'
Name='Key'
Node='element' On='install' Sequence='1' />
<util:XmlConfig Id='I2' Action='create'
VerifyPath="/Config/Settings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Setting1'[\]]"
ElementPath='/Config/Settings/Key[\[]not(@name)[\]]'
File='c:\Settings.xml' Name='name'
Node='value' On='install' Sequence='2' Value='Setting1' />
<util:XmlConfig Id='I3' Action='create'
VerifyPath="/Config/Settings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Setting1'[\]]"
ElementPath='/Config/Settings/Key[\[]not(@value)[\]]'
File='c:\Settings.xml' Name='value'
Node='value' On='install' Sequence='3' Value='yes' />
For A it works fine. At B I get an error (Logfile):
Error 25542. Failed to find node: /Config/Settings/Key[not(@name)] in
XML file: c:\Settings.xml, system error: -2147020584
Why does XMLConfig try to elevate the ElementPath in sequence 2?(I
removed sequence 2 and sequence 3. Sequence 1 will not insert a empty
Key element, what is wrong?)
Second try:
<util:XmlConfig Id='I0' Action='create' ElementPath='/Config/Settings'
File='c:\Settings.xml' Name='Key' Node='element'On='install'
Sequence='2' />
<util:XmlConfig Id='I1'
VerifyPath="/Config/Settings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Setting1'[\]]"
Action='create' ElementPath='/Config/Settings' File='c:\Settings.xml'
Name='Key'
Node='element' On='install' Sequence='2' />
<util:XmlConfig Id='I2' Action='create'
VerifyPath="/Config/Settings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Setting1'[\]]"
ElementPath='/Config/Settings/Key[\[]not(@name)[\]]'
File='c:\Settings.xml' Name='name'
Node='value' On='install' Sequence='3' Value='Setting1' />
<util:XmlConfig Id='I3' Action='create'
VerifyPath="/Config/Settings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Setting1'[\]]"
ElementPath='/Config/Settings/Key[\[]not(@value)[\]]'
File='c:\Settings.xml' Name='value'
Node='value' On='install' Sequence='4' Value='yes' />
To avoid the error I add an empty Key element, but the result is not
satisfying.
At A I get an additional empty Key element and at B I get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<Config>
<Settings>
<Key name="Setting1" value="yes"/>
<Key name="Setting2" value="1"/>
<Key name="Setting1" value="yes"/>
</Settings>
</Config>
Hmm why was sequence 2 not done but sequence 3 and 4 was done? How does
the action "create" and VerifyPath work together?
Any help?
