How to configure the InstallShield XML File Changes view to assure the correct element is affected during execution of the installationSynopsis
Often, an XML file contains multiple elements with the same name. This article explains how to configure the InstallShield XML File Changes view to assure the correct element is affected during execution of the installation.
Discussion
If the XML File Changes view contains identically named sub-elements under a parent element, when the install is run, only a single sub-element, rather than multiple sub-elements, is created under the parent element.
Because the XML File Changes view uses XPath expressions, identically named sub-element can be accessed using the syntax:
//elementname
where ?x? is a number 1 though n number of elements.
This syntax will allow multiple sub-elements with identical names to be created under a parent element. The syntax will also allow a particular sub-element to be modified.
