Hi All,

In one of the blog Rob has mentioned

"Burn validates everything before placing it in the cache for security reasons. What you could do is read the external file in a custom Bootstrapper Application and store the results as persisted Variables. This will be more work but Burn just won't trust files that don't match the security hashes/signatures inserted at build time."

Is it possible to modify a file, If yes, please let me know in which of the new WiX build release

Thanks & Regards
Mohit
