Read from XML file #26

[fk250046]

I would like to finish this development I sugested several years ago and I want to discuss architecture here because XML schema should be changed. Since I started development of this I think that what I suggested in first document should be changed as following:

1. The table can conatin 5 columns:
   a) Property - Identificator, primary key, no validation against Property table, results set to it.
   b) File - Formatted string of [MAX_PATH], Path to XML file, cannot be nullable
   c) Element - String, No limitation in length, XPath to an XML element, cannot be nullable.
   d) Name - String, No limitation in length, name of attribute to read, nullable, if
   i. Name= - reads a value from attribute
   ii. Name=null - reads inner text from element
   iii. Name="*" - reads all child nodes
   e) Hidden - yes/no type, adds this property to hidden properties.
2. Custom action - immediate, after AppSearch in both sequences, run once, check, does not fail installation if finds nothing but fails installation if there is a problem finding/using XML DOM.
