If you define .NET configuration settings for your product in a web.config file, you can specify those settings through the XML File Changes view.

To add an element for a .NET configuration 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 configuration element, click Add Predefined Element, point to .NET Configuration Files, point to Web Configuration File, point to a given set of settings, and click the appropriate command.

InstallShield adds the new element in the explorer.

For detailed reference information about the different elements and attributes in .NET configuration files, see Configuration File Schema on the MSDN Web site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/gngrfnetframeworkconfigurationfileschema.asp).
