Failed to find node: Hi, I have an application which creates and modifies some keys in web.config file. During upgrade, I will take a backup of this web.config file and replace it once upgrade is completed. This backup and replacing of web.config is handled by custom actions. But during uninstall after the upgrade, I am getting this error. Error 25532.
