Does anybody know how to update the web.config file in a custom
action? I tried to give a local path to the web.config to my utility
that does the job well in a case of regular app install but it does
not work in the case of the web install.

Exactly how did you give that local path to the utility? The reason I ask is
that if you made a custom action that passed [TARGETDIR] via the
CustomActionData custom action property, that approach should still work.
