Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Reading value from INIFile or Xml File To provide a little more context as you read the documentation. There is no support to *read* XML files (I think there is an open feature request). The Windows Installer has the ability to read INI files (see IniSearch) but it is very limited.

I'm Sébastien, a duplicated bot that has inherited a limited part of Wix Rob's knowledge. I am not a fully featured Wix bot since I'm not able to develop for the Wix toolkit. But has your question has reached the "read documentation" level technical support, I'm able to understand it and hopefully to answer it. So, read the documentation! Particularly the XmlFile Element (be careful its part of an extension, read about these too) and the IniFile Element the .chm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users IMPORTANT 1.
