I cannot seem to get RemoveFile to work. Here is my latest attempt:
<Component Id="CMP_WpfAppConfig" Guid="*" Directory="WPFINSTALLDIR">
<File Id="FILE_WpfAppConfig"
Source="../WPFHost/app.Config"
KeyPath="yes"/>
<RemoveFile Id="WpfAppConfig0" Name="[WPFINSTALLDIR]app.Config"
On="both"/>
.....
<!--
-->
<?if $(var.Configuration) = "Debug" ?>
<util:XmlFile Id="WpfAppConfig14" File="[WPFINSTALLDIR]app.Config"
Action="setValue" Name="initializeData" Value="f:\applog\app_tracelog.svclog"
ElementPath="//configuration/system.diagnostics/sharedListeners/add[\[]@name="ServiceModelTraceListener"[\]]"
Sequence="14" />
<?endif ?>
<?if $(var.Configuration) = "Release" ?>
<util:XmlConfig Id="WpfAppConfig15" Action="delete"
ElementPath="//configuration" File="[WPFINSTALLDIR]app.Config" Node="element"
On="install" Sequence="15" VerifyPath="system.diagnostics" />
<util:XmlConfig Id="WpfAppConfig16" Action="delete"
ElementPath="//configuration/system.serviceModel"
File="[WPFINSTALLDIR]app.Config" Node="element" On="install" Sequence="16"
VerifyPath="diagnostics" />
<?endif ?>
.....
</Component>
I still get the error message in the log below. The error message indicates
that the file is unversioned but modified. Hopefullly applying <RemoveFile>
correctly will let me essentially overwrite the file.
Thank you.

The log file looks like:

I will look at RemoveFile. It seems kind of counter intuitive that on
installation I want to remove a file. Would I put the <RemoveFile> element in
the same component as the component that is installing the file?
