| ElementPath | String | The XPath of the parent element being modified. Note that this is a formatted field and therefore, square brackets in the XPath must be escaped. In addition, XPaths allow backslashes to be used to escape characters, so if you intend to include literal backslashes, you must escape them as well by doubling them in this attribute. The string is formatted by MSI first, and the result is consumed as the XPath. | |

| Value | String | The value to be written. See the Formatted topic for information how to escape square brackets in the value. | |
| VerifyPath | String | The XPath to the element being modified. This is required for 'delete' actions. For 'create' actions, VerifyPath is used to decide if the element already exists.

The string is formatted by MSI first, and the result is consumed as the XPath. | |
