No good, I tried "/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setti...@ke y='project']/@value"
...and below, due to the visual studio stating that the square brace HAD to be escaped (it said this in the documentation as well)... "/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/settin...@k ey='project'\]/@value" And I still get the error... C:\Documents and Settings\chrisj\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Roll Call\setup\Product.wxs(16,0): error LGHT0204: ICE03: Invalid format string; Table: XmlFile, Column: ElementPath, Key(s): RollCall.exe.config.project The documentation looks a little light in this subject...is there any source I can use to read up on this format issue? -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 6:22 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] help with error LGHT0204: ICE03: Invalid formatstring "/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setting[\[] [...@key='project'[\]]/@value" Would become: "/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/settin...@k ey='project']/@value" Except that the repeated "[" char is confusing the formatted syntax parser since there are "]" chars that follow. Remove the extraneous "[" in front of the "@key". At that point, the XPath will look like: "/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setti...@ke y='project']/@value" Which means: The "value" attribute of the "setting" element with an attribute "key" that is set to the value "project" that is a child of "RollCall.Properties.Settings" which itself is a child of "applicationSettings" which itself is a child of the document element named "configuration". Unless my XPath parsing skills have been temporarily misguided. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Jokinen [mailto:chr...@directron.us] Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 3:25 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] help with error LGHT0204: ICE03: Invalid format string error LGHT0204: ICE03: Invalid format string; Table: XmlFile, Column: ElementPath, Key(s): RollCall.exe.config.project <util:XmlFile Id="RollCall.exe.config.project" Action="setValue" ElementPath="/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings /setting[\...@key='project'[\]]/@value" File="[INSTALLLOCATION]\RollCall.exe.config" Value="[PROJECT]"/> I have tried setting the ElementPath a few different ways and I am still missing something.sorry I do not have much experience with xpath.looks simple enough. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> . </configSections> <applicationSettings> <RollCall.Properties.Settings> <setting name="ip_address" serializeAs="String"> <value>192.168.0.10</value> </setting> <setting name="host" serializeAs="String"> <value>www.yahoo.com</value> </setting> <setting name="project" serializeAs="String"> <value>yahoo</value> </setting> </RollCall.Properties.Settings> </applicationSettings> </configuration> Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
