In your XmlFile elements make sure you set @SelectionLanguage to XPath. The obsolete XSLPattern default value uses a now obsolete predecessor to XPath for the pattern matching.

Subject: [WiX-users] XmlFile element issues - any XPath experts out there? Hi, I've successfully set up a few xml file configuration items using the XmlFile element, but I have an instance that is not working as expected, hopefully somebody out there can help! This is a cut down sample of my xml file: <?xml version='1.0'?> <evidence_gatherer> <evidence> <evidence_type type="notification"> <xslt_sql>UPDATEME</xslt_sql> </evidence_type> <evidence_type type="ts_feature"> <xslt_sql>UPDATEME</xslt_sql> </evidence_type> </evidence> </evidence_gatherer> And this is my WiX markup: <util:XmlFile Id="Notif" Action="setValue" ElementPath="/evidence_gatherer/evidence/evidence_type[/[]@type='notificatio n'[/]]/xslt_sql" File="[#evidence_gatherer.xml]" Value="[#notification_sql.xsl]"/> <util:XmlFile Id="Feat" Action="setValue" ElementPath="/evidence_gatherer/evidence/evidence_type[/[]@type='ts_feature' [/]]/xslt_sql" File="[#evidence_gatherer.xml]" Value="[#ts_feature_sql.xsl]"/> The result I get is that both statements end up selecting the same first node (where type='notification'), which ends up being left set to the value of the last operation. I believe I am correctly escaping the square brackets above. If I try to refer to them in order, e.g. /evidence_gatherer/evidence/evidence_type[1]/xslt_sql, that does not work either. Have I stumbled upon a bug (I'm using v3.6) or are my XPath statements wrong? Thanks, Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ridiculously easy VDI.
