I'm experiencing an issue here where i'm able to edit some nodes, but not others. I can't place the real XML here due to security reasons, but i can give the general idea as to what's happening:
- .......
Value updates in nodes 1 and 3 are working fine. However, i node 2 isn't being updated at all. This is an xml file installed with the product. It's only updated during install. All the other nodes around it are working fine.
I suspect a subnode with terminates with a /> vs. a closing tag is the culprit. Does anyone else have experience with this issue?
Can you post a sample file and what you are trying to update? I can give it a try..I have written several installers where I had to update XML in one or more files, mostly I depend on InstallScript for XML modifications.
I should also mention this is a basic MSI project. I can't post the real XML file as it's against company policy but furthermore it's in a secure room far from my desk and i can't print or write it out either.
Well, do you want to use node names (node1 node2 etc) to lookup the nodes or do you want to use key value pair (value1="blah" value2="blah"), so something like lookup a key with 'value1' and replace the value there?
