A cosmetic bug, I should have changed the idea to match the activity.

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Is it possible to delete the Key/value pair from web.config file during installation. I would use util:XmlConfig as it is far more powerful than util:XmlFile for this problem. <util:XmlConfig Id="CreateFirstAddElement" Action="delete" ElementPath="/configuration/product/Deploy/Servers" File="[#FileWebConfig]" Name="add" Node="element" On="install" Sequence="1" VerifyPath="/configuration/product/Deploy/Servers/add[\[]@key='[SERVER]'[\]] " /> In this example the code looks for an "add" element at XPAT /configuration/product/Deploy/Servers, and if the key matches the value in the SERVER property, it deletes it. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Bala [mailto:balakrish...@ameexusa.com] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 9:56 AM To: 'General discussion about the WiX toolset.'

But it will delete the attribute value only it will not remove the entire Key. I want to remove the entire key from the web.config.
