Don't worry about the project I see now the problem you are trying to solve. It looks like you are trying to set an action condition. This is what wasn't clear for me.
> Why CDATA has been removed from conditions by default?
I am not sure Wix# ever used CData by default for all WiX types/elements. (Though may be I just don't remember).
Anyway, currently Wix# checks if the Condition value has any XML delimiter and encodes it as a CData if any detected. However it looks like in your case the detection algorithm failed and Wix# missed that fact that your Condition interferes with XML encoding. That is why I really need to know what was your condition value that did not trigger the CData encoding.

Correct. You are using XDocument
However in your case you don't have to do XML injection as you can force CData encoding in a more direct way:
As for the auto detection of CData triggering conditions I will proceed with the fix when I have a sample of the "offending" Condition value.

Correct. You are using XDocument
Element to access it and most likely it can be only accessed with use of proper XML namespaces. Anyway, I always encourage users to use Wix# XML extensions for accessing the elements transparently by the "local names". The syntax that you were looking for is as follows:staticvoid Project_WixSourceGenerated(XDocument document) { var element = document.Root.Select("Product/InstallExecuteSequence") .FindAll("Custom") .First(x => x.Value == "MY_CONDITION"); element.ReplaceNodes(new Condition("<your condition>").ToCData()); }
AutoElements.ForceCDataForConditions = true;
