Hello
I have an application in .NET that have an XML configuration file
The task is how to make an installation package that read command line params and edit XML configuration file
ex:

setup.exe /first_key=value_for_first_key /second_key=value_for_second_key

configuration file of application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="first_key" value="VALUE" />
<add key="second_key" value="VALUE" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Thank you

You could install the xml file, have your custom action run after the file is installed and then update the xml file. Alternatively you could just generate the entire thing in a custom action (assumes the xml file isn't overly large)
