You can only add Temporary rows (and add temporary columns, I think) to
existing tables from a CustomAction.

Hi guys,
So I am trying to edit MSI tables (component table, file table, ...) from a
custom action while the MSI is being run.
Following are the attempts I've made, and so far I have failed miserably.

Truly. However Windows Installer could theoretically add support for
customizing the basic UI experience without requiring the shell to
change.

I believe that's the VS setting that runs RegCap behind your back, imports the
generated .reg file, and adds any typelib information into the MSI file. Look
at the WiX tool Heat, that's a close equivalent.

Hello All,
I am trying to do a silent installation of our product and it gives and

No such thing as an "installation session" when using MsiOpenDatabase().

Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of time to learn it on those
terms and we don't have Visual Studio, so I'm kind of stuck between a

Hi James, just my two cents here... I had used a trial of MSI Factory(wix

wix instead with the help of WixEdit at first. Bottom line is once I
learned Wix I found I dont need msi factory or wixAware, IMHO. Perhaps

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Dialog Modification
Windows Installer doesn't realize that the property value has changed
inside your custom action. The workaround is to add a control event
after the DoAction event that sets the property to itself, i.e.
, then do your
remaining events that use the Licensed property in their condition.

Hey James,
You can look into the WiX source to see how different WiX UIs are made. That
might be a good way to start.

I'm using setupbld and the default stub (setup.exe). When I run the command

That's a Windows Installer decision. If it changes, it'll change because
of them, not the WiX toolset.

What part is slow? Try running with verbose switch on and see what is
taking the time. Also, what version of the WiX toolset are you using?

Not really. A custom action can display arbitrary UI; what's not
supported is trying to "double-pump" the MSI UI. When you say that the
install just ends, that means the CA returned an error code.

Thanks for the reply's guys,
That would explain why i have been unable to get the custom action to work.
