EDIT
I’ve decided to try to find a simpler way to ask this question:
If my WIX-based installation needs to modify an XML file that looks like this:
<a>
<b/>
</a>
into one that looks like this:
<a>
<c/>
<b/>
<a/>
Can it be done without a custom action?
Using the XmlConfig element, the closest I can get is this:
<a>
<b/>
<c/>
<a/>
The problem, if I have not made it plain, is that the inserted c element must come before the b element already in the file.
XmlConfig and XmlFile get converted to custom actions btw. Can you start with a different xml file such that you can add all children nodes to the parent in the correct sequence? Otherwise, you can request this behavior as a new feature request to the WiX team here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105970&atid=642717
