Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Features of XmlConfig - can be considered bugs? Those are all side-effects of using MSXML. It isn't the friendliest at maintaining all the previous whitespace and shaping. A Feature Request seems fine but as long as things work, I don't think a bug is appropriate. -----Original Message----- From: Yan Sklyarenko [mailto:y...@sitecore.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 08:36 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Features of XmlConfig - can be considered bugs? Hello WiX developers, I have been using XmlConfig elements in my installation for some time and I've noticed a number of things which I qualify as minor bugs: 1) When you modify an existent attribute of an existent XML element, it is moved to the end of the element: Before <Person Name="John" Lastname="Smith" Age="35"/> After <Person Lastname="Smith" Age="35" Name="Mary"/> 2) When you modify a self-closing element, it removes the space between the last attribute and the closing structure: Before <Person Name="John" Lastname="Smith" Age="35" /> After <Person Lastname="Smith" Age="35" Name="Mary"/> 3) When you delete an element, it leaves the empty line: Before <Person Name="John" Lastname="Smith" Age="35" /> <Person Name="Tony" Lastname="Black" Age="40" /> <Person Name="Amy" Lastname="White" Age="20" /> After <Person Name="John" Lastname="Smith" Age="35" /> <Person Name="Amy" Lastname="White" Age="20" /> Can this be registered as minor bugs? There's nothing vitally important here, just not convenient to diff afterwards...
