Pass a Public Property to a value inside a config file
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a simple way of doing the following...any ideas?
I have a server path sitting inside the configuration file of an application.
I want to be able to switch this as and when I need from the msi install line so from one install we can point the application to different servers
The config file is NOT in an ini file format so the simple solution of defining a public property as "SERVERNAME=SQLSERVER****" and setting the ini file value to "[SERVERNAME]" will not work.
I'm thinking about calling a script via a custom action that parses through the config file and drops in the servername from a public property...is there a simpler way to do this? I'm using Wise Studio Professional 5.1
Cheers

Custom Action + VBScript would be my preferred method in a managed environment, or a VB exe file in an unmanaged environment.

Actually decided to do it a slightly quicker way in the end using component conditions that are tied into a public property value. Not sure it's the smoothest solution...but does the job!
