Hi;
We need to edit an XML file from inside a MSI install program. This means
we
need to write the code to do this in C++ and only use the libraries that
are
included with the MSI installer.
Is there a set of calls for this in the C++ runtime? (It's been a long
time
since I used C++ - it's all java and C# now).
How much variation is in the input file? Many times "xml editing" or "xml
generation" can be accomplished by simple stream-based search-and-replace
without ever needing to parse the XML tree.
If the XML file ships with your program, I would use a simple macro
substitution, picking a unique string as a placeholder.
