XML edits during maintenance are not picking up the assigned properties value, but are Null instead.

Question

I might be pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, but here goes anyway.

I have a product that supports many other products, in this case it can only support one of the supported products at a time.
I want to allow the User to use “Change” option to select a different version to support.

If (SP3DVERSION="SP3D2019") OR (SP3DVERSION="SP3D13") OR (SP3DVERSION="SP3D131") then I want one version of my LFM.xml file, and if SP3DVERSION="SP3D14" then I want a different version of LFM.xml

The files are getting swapped over when changing between products just fine, but…. The XML edits are not happening correctly (they work just fine on first install) in fact the XML edit is blanking out the ElementPath even though the LFMSERVERSP3D property is set. Running a “Repair” after changing versions causes the XML edit to happen with the correct path.

  <Component Id="LFM.xml" Directory="PointCloudVendors" Condition='(SP3DVERSION="SP3D2019") OR (SP3DVERSION="SP3D13") OR (SP3DVERSION="SP3D131")' Transitive="yes">
    <File Id="LFM.xml" Name="LFM.xml" Source="$(ProjectDir)LFM.xml"/>
    <util:XmlFile Id="AssemblyLocation" File="[#LFM.xml]" ElementPath="PointCloudVendorDefinition/AssemblyLocation" Value="[LFMSERVERSP3D]" Action="setValue" PreserveModifiedDate="yes"/>
  </Component>
  <Component Id="LFMx64.xml" Directory="PointCloudVendorsx64" Condition='SP3DVERSION="SP3D14"' Transitive="yes">
    <File Id="LFMx64.xml" Name="LFM.xml" Source="$(ProjectDir)LFMx64.xml"/>
    <util:XmlFile Id="AssemblyLocationx64" File="[#LFMx64.xml]" ElementPath="PointCloudVendorDefinition/AssemblyLocation" Value="[binx64SP3D]" Action="setValue" PreserveModifiedDate="yes"/>
  </Component>
  <Component Id="LFM.xml_x86" Directory="PointCloudVendors_x86" Bitness="always32">
    <File Id="LFM.xml_x86" Name="LFM.xml" Source="$(ProjectDir)LFM.xml"/>
    <util:XmlFile Id="AssemblyLocation_x86" File="[#LFM.xml_x86]" ElementPath="PointCloudVendorDefinition/AssemblyLocation" Value="[LFMSERVERSP3D]" Action="setValue"/>
  </Component>

In the Dialog where the User selects the supported version desired, I am Publishing the “Reinstall” event when the “Next” button is clicked.

    <Control Id="SP3DVERSION" Type="RadioButtonGroup" X="30" Y="103" Width="323" Height="70" Property="SP3DVERSION">
      <RadioButtonGroup Property="SP3DVERSION">
        <RadioButton Value="SP3D14" X="5" Y="0" Width="318" Height="14" Text="!(loc.FeatureRadioSelectSP3DDlgRadioButton14)" />
        <RadioButton Value="SP3D131" X="5" Y="18" Width="318" Height="14" Text="!(loc.FeatureRadioSelectSP3DDlgRadioButton131)" />
        <RadioButton Value="SP3D13" X="5" Y="36" Width="318" Height="14" Text="!(loc.FeatureRadioSelectSP3DDlgRadioButton13)" />
        <RadioButton Value="SP3D2019" X="5" Y="54" Width="318" Height="14" Text="!(loc.FeatureRadioSelectSP3DDlgRadioButton2019)" />
      </RadioButtonGroup>
    </Control>

    <Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="180" Y="296" Width="56" Height="17" Text="!(loc.WixUIBack)" />
    <Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="296" Width="56" Height="17" Disabled="no" Text="!(loc.WixUINext)">
      <Publish Property="SP3DVERSION" Value="[SP3DVERSION]" Order="1"/>
      <Publish Event="Reinstall" Value="SP3D" Order="2" Condition="Installed"/>
    </Control>

Is there any way I can get the XML edit to work correctly in Maintenance mode??
Initial Install SP3D131.LOG
Change to SP3D14.LOG
