Edwin,
I believe you're missing the Action and Node attributes of the XmlConfig tag.
<util:XmlConfig Id="id"
File="file"
ElementPath="//SqlCommandVariables/Properties/Property[\[]PropertyName='name1'[\]]/PropertyValue"
Action="create"
Node="value"
On="install"
Value="[PUBLICPROPERTY]" />
That XPath should pull the PropertyValue element of just the Property that has
a PropertyName element that's text is 'name1'. By not defining the Name
attribute of XmlConfig, this should set the text of the PropertyValue to
whatever the value of PUBLICPROPERTY is.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [WiX-users] XPath for XmlConfig and Xml Namespaces
I'm trying to use XmlConfig to update a file that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SqlCommandVariables
xmlns="urn:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Schema.Project.SqlCmdVars">
<Version>1</Version>
<Properties>
<Property>
<PropertyName>name1</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>value1</PropertyValue>
</Property>
<Property>
<PropertyName>name2</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>value2</PropertyValue>
</Property>
<Property>
<PropertyName>name3</PropertyName>
<PropertyValue>value3</PropertyValue>
</Property>
</Properties>
</SqlCommandVariables>
My goal is to change the text of PropertyValue where the sibling PropertyName
equals a particular string. I’ve been trying to come up with XPaths to do this
and I am having trouble.
<util:XmlConfig
Id="id"
File="fileId"
ElementPath="/SqlCommandVariables/Properties/Property[\[]PropertyName =
'name1'[\]]"
Name="PropertyValue"
Value="[PUBLICPROPERTY]"
On="install"/>
Of course, this isn't working and I'm sure my problem is operator error. Am I
using XmlConfig incorrectly?
