Because the Wix document has a namespace your Xpath expression must also
reference the namespace. Remember that xpath matches on fully qualified
names. Try the following (sorry in advance if I screwed up the syntax)
<xmlpeek file="${pwd}\MSI1.wxs"
xpath="/x:Wix/x:Product/@x:Version" property="xml.property">
<namespaces>
<namespace prefix="x" url="
http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi"; />
</namespaces>
</xmlpeek>
