Hey Joe, I looked at this a bit and I don't see a way off the top of my head to do it without some custom coding. If you are building the WIX project you could look at the dutil directory. I would add an additional method for yourself that would call a formatter IMXWriter<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms759110(VS.85).aspx> on the file after it has been saved. There might be a better way but this is the first thing that came to mind.
So, around line 1014 you could add a call back out to the location of the file "varsDestPath". http://wix.cvs.sourceforge.net/wix/wix/src/dutil/xmlutil.cpp?view=markup Do something in that method as suggested here: http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/2f5c81c3-f516-41a3-b3a0-a4cb0973fbf4/ Hope that helps!
