Hi, I tried to use util:XmlFile element from your example to set connection string in .config file, but WiX won’t build my project (which has been valid until adding this element); it says “Unresolved reference to symbol ‘CustomAction:SchedXmlFile’ in section…..” and that symbol doesn’t exist in my project. Do you know how could I solve that problem?
thanks, vedran

Won’t windows intaller fire up repair action if you launch your application using advertised shortcut after .config is modified? And how do you ensure that properties are saved and restored during repair?
