What is a good way to manage individual XML settings on Windows?

[Ger Apeldoorn]

Hi,

I'm looking for a good way to manage individual XML values on Windows. 

Apparently, Augeas does not work on Windows and we cannot manage the entire file as a template because of some values that are generated during installation of the package.

How would I manage individual values in XML files on Windows machines?

Thanks in advance,

Ger

Depending on your comfort level you could use PowerShell to do it, see http://powershell.com/cs/blogs/tobias/archive/2009/02/02/xml-part-2-write-add-and-change-xml-data.aspx

You could combine that XML read/manipulate/write technique with the Powershell exec provider from https://forge.puppetlabs.com/joshcooper/powershell to create a Windows XML-manipulation resource if you found yourself doing that a lot.

Hopefully someone has an easier answer, I know that's a bit of coding to have to do,

Jeff
