Hi, I'm trying to read / edit an XML document and I'm having trouble. Specifically, I'm working on a Wix file.
Basically, I can't come up with an xpath query that modifies this:
|?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?|
|Wix xmlns="[http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi](http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi)"|
|Product Id="{B6EB2F12-16B6-4AF9-958C-07CB9F2501BD}" /|
|/Wix|
(having trouble pasting the xml in here)
I've tried /Wix/Product, //Product, Wix:Product, etc. Looks like a namespace problem, but I can't get it to work.
Does anyone have any advice?
I'm using FB 6.0.0.574

Ah, found an answer to my question here: [https://www.finalbuilder.com/resour...ode-error2](https://www.finalbuilder.com/resources/blogs/xml-actions-and-the-xpath-returned-no-node-error2)
Checked Automatically use namespace prefix, entered x, change my xpath to /x:Wix/x:Product and it works.
