XML namespaces provide a method for avoiding element name conflicts. When you are specifying XML file changes in InstallShield, you can specify the namespace mappings that should be declared in the XML file and then specify namespace prefixes for any of the file’s elements.

Tip:If you use the Import XML Settings Wizard to import an XML file into the XML File Changes view, InstallShield imports any namespaces that are declared for the file.
