How I can comment element of config file during the installing?
I.e. I install WCF service to IIS. If IIS does not have https protocol binding I need to comment https endpoints in Web.config.
Else do not comment this endpoint. 

  <service name="MyServer.MyDataAccessRESTService" behaviorConfiguration="MyServer.MyDataAccessRESTServiceBehavior">
    <endpoint binding="webHttpBinding" contract="MyServer.IMyDataAccessRESTService" 
              bindingConfiguration="webHttpBinding0" behaviorConfiguration="MyDataAccessRESTServiceBehavior" 
              address="http://localhost/svc2Web/svc2rest.svc"></endpoint>
    <endpoint binding="webHttpBinding" contract="MyServer.IMyDataAccessRESTService"
              bindingConfiguration="webHttpBinding1" behaviorConfiguration="MyDataAccessRESTServiceBehavior"
              address="https://localhost/svc2Web/svc2rest.svc"></endpoint>
  </service>

    I would do this the other way around. Let the default version of web.config omit the HTTPS endpoint. In case HTTPS is on in IIS, add a new element to web.config using XmlConfig capabilities. You can find the sample of how to do this here and here.
