Thanks for the input. When looking at it again it does seem to depend
too much on the order and as that can't be controlled I think I will
have to split it out with some custom actions.

Don't patch the patch!

We had to roll a lot of code around this: DMO to list available SQL

Neil,
Documentation on AppSearch table does not say that Property column has to be
unique, so I don't think it is illegal to have multiple rows for the same
property in the AppSearch table. The order of evaluation for the same property
should go from least desirable to most desirable. The onl

What this does is set the property USERNAME to either the default value

Hi WiXers,
I was very excited to see the addition of new switches to the

were added did not include one for an admin install like passing the

Hi,

Custom Actions can come in many flavors, and some people use embedded

Thanks for the reply.
When you talk about staying away from a scripted solution, can you elaborate on
what you mean? Also, how does the windows installer UI fit into all of this?

Yes, you can do this using the ServiceControl Table. Set the
