I have a requirement like: I need to create a custom table called TextInfo and have to replace many variables inside product configuration files with variable values. This has to be done for around 15 files. Table should have Config file Name, file variable to search for and replacement value.

This I done easily, but I am blank implementing it in custom action………………., I meant, how do I read the table and go ahead with value replacement? please somebody give some clue on implementing it…………


Thanks,
Mayur

I wouldn't use MSI tables for this, but rather XML files that you read with an XML DOM compatible parser and do all the magic you need to do from within a single custom action.
