Hi,
Please can you tell me how I can write to web.config file of my web application during installation? I want to add some configuration settings to this file during installation.
Thank you.

You can use the Write to Text File command.

Please drag-drop or type to insert the Write to Text File command into your setup script, and press F1 while the window is showing to get command help.

The "Write Text File Command" can not help in this situation because it can only write to the begining or end of a file. But I need to write to the "application settings" section of a web.config file. Any suggestion?

Multiple Write Text Commands!

First call to write the start part of file, then the application block, then the rest of it.

Also check the EditFile plug-in, available for free on this forum.
