Re: [WiX-users] Testing the ConfigureSQL fix

Rob, Understand the predicament. I have wondered if there is a way I can contribute back to WIX either in testing or documenting. (However time has not always been friendly). I actually started experimenting on some scripts to unit test my installs (so that I could do some major reorganisatio

Re: [WiX-users] Testing the ConfigureSQL fix

Dang it. That's completely unrelated to the SQL change. I made an incorrect assumption about presence of Certificate tables. Grr. It'll be fixed in the next build. PS: as is probably apparent by now, we do not have good unit testing to verify changes in the Server CustomAction code. Even w

Re: [WiX-users] Testing the ConfigureSQL fix

Rob, Have now tested build 4813. Looks okay. Ran the install three times with no ConfigureSQL issue (Log looks good). However for your info the install then fails with a "Failed to read IIsWebs table". I have made no changes to this part of the install, and there is an IIsWebSite table (usin

[WiX-users] Running cmd.exe from a CustomAction

I'm a casual WiX user, so please forgive me if this is really trivial. I did try searching the documentation and the mailing list for help, but couldn't find any: I'm shipping a batch file with my .msi that I need to run with the /v:off flag to cmd.exe. This is what I have: The idea is t
