Your ElementPath isn't pointing to anything beyond your root element of appplicationSettings, as far as I can tell. You need to use XPath to specify the inner text of that deeper element. Seems it is almost always some trial and error to nail these. I like to create a mini installer that does nothing but modify the XML so I can run it and uninstall it very quickly for some quick iterative tests until I get the syntax right for a given XPath. Then I merge that into my main project.
