Support For .HCL Configuration Files as Windows Installer File

[Collins]

It would be great if a config.hcl (HashiCorp Configuration Language) file could be added as a Windows Installer type so it can be updated using public properties.

Hello,

For this you can use a Text File Update operation to modify existing files using "Append" and "Search & Replace" operations.

Should there be any difficulty you encounter implementing something, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will gladly assist.

Best regards,
Dan

That worked perfectly, thank you.

[Collins]

Actually, it didn't work completely because it keeps removing the { brackets.

Example:

backend "file" {
path = "[INSTALLDIR]"
}

After:

backend "file"
path = "[INSTALLDIR]"

[Collins]

I was able to use [\{] to keep them from being removed.

Hello,

Indeed, you need to escape the special characters as explain in the Formatted field.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Best regards,
