XML elements can contain text content. For example, in the following XML code, feature is the content for the element product:

<product>feature</product>

To add content to one of the elements listed in the XML File Changes view:

1.

In the View List under System Configuration, click XML File Changes.

2.

In the XML Files explorer, select the element to which you want to add content.

3.

Select the Advanced tab.

4.

Select the Set element content check box.

5.

In the Content box, type the text content.

When you type a value for this setting, you are creating a string entry and setting its initial value for all of the languages that are currently in the project. As an alternative to typing a new value, you can click the ellipsis button (...) next to this setting to select an existing string. For more information, see Using String Entries in InstallShield.
