[wix-users] Is it possible to include a modifiable file in WiX burn?

[Farrukh Waheed]

Some suggestion:
Use post build events of your projects to modify ini files at the end of
your build, before packing them to msi.
Or
After making msi, use Transforms and apply them while installation on
user's machine.
Or
Use small Patches to patch after installation is done user's machine.
