Thanks for the help! I also had to change to use XmlFile versus XmlConfig. The
following fragment is working.
<util:XmlFile Id="Config.Update"
Action="setValue"
Sequence="1125"
ElementPath="/configuration/applicationSettings/Microsoft.Lexicon.Framework.BackgroundLocalFileSettings/setting[\[]@name='DatabaseServer'[\]]/value"
File="[MyModuleDirectory]$(var.StorageAgentWindowsService.TargetFileName).config"
Value="[CATALOGSERVER]" />
Thanks,
Gregg

thecorrect hammer for this issue)
Modify the Configurations as below and try
<util:XmlConfig Id="Config.Update"
*Action="setValue"
* Sequence="1125"
*
ElementPath="/configuration/applicationSettings/Microsoft.Lexicon.Framework.BackgroundLocalFileSettings/setting[\[]@name='DatabaseServer'[\]]/value"
VerifyPath="/configuration/applicationSettings/Microsoft.Lexicon.Framework.BackgroundLocalFileSettings/setting[\[]@name='DatabaseServer'[\]]/value"
*
File="[MyModuleDirectory]$(var.StorageAgentWindowsService.TargetFileName).config"
*Value="[CATALOGSERVER]"
* On="install"/>
Action = "createElement" is to create a new element. As the element is already
existing you should use Action = "setValue"
