util:XmlFile, conditionally set value

[Scott Vickery]

Any ideas on how to conditionally set a value in an xml?  Based on a global variable, CLIENTNAME, I want to set a value in a web.config.  Something like the following, but, I know it does not work:

      <Condition Level="0"><![CDATA[CLIENTNAME<>SOMECLIENT]]>
       <util:XmlFile Id="UpdateWebConfig"
            File="[ServiceInstanceDirectory]Web.config"
            Action="setValue"
            ElementPath='/configuration/appSettings/add[\[]@key="SomeKey"[\]]'
            Name="value"
            Value="SomeValue"
            />
      </Condition>
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

If this condition does not apply to a component which installs Web.config file, put <util:XmlFile> in separate <Component> and apply condition to it:

<Component Id=...>
  <Condition><![CDATA[CLIENTNAME<>SOMECLIENT]]></Condition>
  <util:XmlFile ...
</Component>

Basically, <Condition> is a child of <Component> and does not have children of its own:

Put it in its own component.

    <Component Id="UpdateWebConfig" Guid="PLACE_GUID_HERE" .../>
      <Condition><![CDATA[CLIENTNAME<>SOMECLIENT]]></Condition>
       <util:XmlFile Id="UpdateWebConfig"
            File="[ServiceInstanceDirectory]Web.config"
            Action="setValue"
 
ElementPath='/configuration/appSettings/add[\[]@key="SomeKey"[\]]'
            Name="value"
            Value="SomeValue"
            />
    </Component>

>From there, mark the component transitive or not as is appropriate, etc.
