The Default.aspx lacked an <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> line, but both Web.config files have it and are treated in exactly the same way as the original Default.aspx.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] XMLFile not Finding file to Edit Even Though File is Verified There Yes, it is definitely possible. The Default.aspx file in an ASP.NET configuration file. The two Web.config files are both for IIS7. I'll check. -- John M.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] XMLFile not Finding file to Edit Even Though File is Verified There Is it possible your XML file has an inaccurate header? I've seen people before with an XML header like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> But their file isn't actually saved in UTF-8 format. This mismatch will cause MSXML (which XmlFile uses) to fail on that file, everytime - I don't remember with what error code. Another possibility - is it possible the permissions on a parent directory of this file are extremely restrictive?
