If you are adding an XML file reference in the XML File Changes view, you can add a root element. Note that an XML file can contain only one root element.
To add a root element to an XML file:
| 1. | In the View List under System Configuration, click XML File Changes. |
| 2. | In the XML Files explorer, right-click the XML file to which you want to add a new root element and click New Root Element. |
InstallShield adds the new root element. Use the tabs that are displayed in the right pane to configure its settings.
Tip:To add a root element and one or more levels of subelements in one step, type the name of the root element plus the subelements, with each separated by a slash. For example, to add a root element called Root, a Sub element under the Root element, and a Sub2 element under the Sub element, type the following:
Root/Sub/Sub2
InstallShield automatically expands it in the explorer.
