Re: [WiX-users] help with error LGHT0204: ICE03: Invalid formatstring

[Chris J. <ch...@di...>]

No good, I tried

"/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setting[@ke
y='project']/@value"

...and below, due to the visual studio stating that the square brace HAD to
be escaped (it said this in the documentation as well)...

"/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setting\[@k
ey='project'\]/@value"

And I still get the error... C:\Documents and Settings\chrisj\My
Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Roll Call\setup\Product.wxs(16,0):
error LGHT0204: ICE03: Invalid format string; Table: XmlFile, Column:
ElementPath, Key(s): RollCall.exe.config.project

The documentation looks a little light in this subject...is there any source
I can use to read up on this format issue?

"/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setting[\[]
[@key='project'[\]]/@value"

Would become:

"/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setting[[@k
ey='project']/@value"

Except that the repeated "[" char is confusing the formatted syntax parser
since there are "]" chars that follow.

Remove the extraneous "[" in front of the "@key".

At that point, the XPath will look like:

"/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings/setting[@ke
y='project']/@value"

Which means:

The "value" attribute of the "setting" element with an attribute "key" that
is set to the value "project" that is a child of
"RollCall.Properties.Settings" which itself is a child of
"applicationSettings" which itself is a child of the document element named
"configuration". Unless my XPath parsing skills have been temporarily
misguided.

<util:XmlFile Id="RollCall.exe.config.project" Action="setValue"
ElementPath="/configuration/applicationSettings/RollCall.Properties.Settings
/setting[\[][@key='project'[\]]/@value"
File="[INSTALLLOCATION]\RollCall.exe.config" Value="[PROJECT]"/>

 

I have tried setting the ElementPath a few different ways and I am still
missing something.sorry I do not have much experience with xpath.looks
simple enough.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

    <configSections>

.

    </configSections>

    <applicationSettings>

        <RollCall.Properties.Settings>

            <setting name="ip_address" serializeAs="String">

                <value>192.168.0.10</value>

            </setting>

            <setting name="host" serializeAs="String">

                <value>www.yahoo.com</value>

            </setting>

            <setting name="project" serializeAs="String">

                <value>yahoo</value>

            </setting>

        </RollCall.Properties.Settings>

    </applicationSettings>

</configuration>
