Try adding the xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; schema to the top of the file that has the XmlFile element in it.
Mine looks like this <Wix xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> -----Original Message----- From: Dave DaveLists [mailto:dbfli...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 8:50 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Question about using XmlFile (WixUtilExtension.dll in general, actually) Ah, yes, sorry. It is a wix compiler error: The Component element contains an unhandled extension element 'util:XmlFile'. Please ensure that the extension for elements in the 'http:⁄⁄schemas.microsoft.com⁄wix⁄UtilExtension' namespace has been provided. I googled this line and found a few references to it but the suggestion was always to add a reference to WixUtilExtension.dll, which we already have. We tried deleting it and putting it back in manually but this did not help (and I verified that the DLL is in the directory where candle and light are, just to be sure).
