[WiX-users] Editing XML node through WIX UI

[Niaz K. <ni...@pu...>]

 
  
Hi,  
   
   
Actually I was able to add a custom dialog to the UI which looks like a form.  
  
In the dialog I got two control elements one for Label and other for field value.  
  
The controls elements are  
  
   
  

<Control Id="LblInterval" Type="Text" X="40" Y="111" Width="51"  

Height="17" TabSkip="yes">  

<Text>Interval:</Text>  

</Control>  

   

<Control Id="EditInterval" Type="Edit" X="95" Y="109" Width="150"  

Height="15" TabSkip="no" Property="_edtInterval">  

<!--<Text>sec</Text>-->  

</Control>  

   

I am using XMLFile element and it is   

<util:XmlFile  

Id="EditXML"  

Action="setValue"  

ElementPath="/PureCMOnTime/Interval"  

File="[INSTALLLOCATION2]PureCMOnTimeSync.xml"  

Name="ServiceInterval"  

Value="[_edtInterval]"/>  

   

I got a problem, during the installation I give value to the Interval field in the custom dialog and after installation when I check the xml file it shows that   

ServiceInterval=""  

It seems that the node is found in XML but I can't hold the value that was given through the custom dialog during the installation.  

After research on internet I found that I need to get value from custom dialog field through custom action and then set that value to a property through another custom action. Just for your information I haven't set up Property="_edtInterval". I am not sure wether this is the correct way for it.  

I tried on it but I haven't succeeded so far I get the same result.  

I am quite new to wix can someone please reply me with custom actions for this scenario or any other alternative to custom actions. Or any other way of doing it. All I need is the values given in the custom dialog should be replace in the XML file.  

   

thanks
