wix install xml file, edit file and copy to another location - wix

Question

I am trying to install a XML file(Tomcat context file) and copy the file to another location inside Tomcat\config\Catalina\ using WiX.
Before copying the file to Tomcat, I want to edit some values in the Context xml. Here, I have modified the xml using the tag from WixUtilExtension.
Below is what I have Done:
<SetProperty Id="CopyLocation" Value="[%CATALINA_HOME]\conf\Catalina\" Before="AppSearch" Sequence="execute"/>
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Directory Id="dirA99A3925C98F7E949CF98F783959A0E0" Name="MyInstallFolder">
<Component Id="cmp318E197D1FB960F5622BEB6879276359" Guid="{FFF02817-FA29-40B7-927A-E943C08A8774}">
<File Id="fil6674D3AD50416393E3C992B211173485" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.installfolder)\MyContext.xml" />
<util:XmlFile Id="DocBase" Action="setValue" Permanent="yes" File="[#fil6674D3AD50416393E3C992B211173485]"
ElementPath="//Context" Name="docBase"
Value="[INSTALLDIR]InstallFolder" SelectionLanguage="XPath" Sequence="1"/>
<CopyFile Id="Copy_File" DestinationProperty="CopyLocation" DestinationName="MyContext.xml" FileId="fil6674D3AD50416393E3C992B211173485"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</DirectoryRef>
Below is the XML Sample:
<Context path="/XERService" docBase="NoValue">
</Context>
The issue is that I am able to modify the file that is installed to the installation path but the file which is copied to the Tomcat doesnot have the changes.

This is because the default sequence for the DuplicateFiles action (the MSI action that maps to CopyFile) happens before the SchedXmlFiles action. You should be able to override this by specifying the following:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SchedXmlFile" Before="DuplicateFiles" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
