Hello:
My goal is to write a sql server db installer which would install the db only
if it is not there.
Leave the db on unstall scenario.
Searched around the web and could not find anything.
Came across this post from Rob and few similar on the web...

the WindowsVolume property in the Directory column of the Directory table."
(which is what the Id attribute populates). You can retrieve its value in

I am creating an installer to install extensions to a service. The extensions

Hi,
I'm looking to create a merge module to integrate help into Visual Studio.
I've followed David's example, but vs:HelpFilter only has Fragment or

I tried creating a fragment and referencing that in my merge project,

Hey Guys,
I am having this same problem. I have several managed custom actions that
used to work. I then upgraded to build 5419 and my install is now broken.
I see the exact error that Shannon does. Any word on this problem or a
solution for it? I have looked in the build log for makesfxca
According to wix.chm, File isn't a valid parent element for
util:PerformanceCounter. It needs to be under a Util:PerformanceCategory
element, which in turn needs to be under a Component element, not a File.
See the CHM for more information.
Thanks,

Greetings all,
I'm working up updating an installer from WiX 2 to WiX3. I've used WixCop to
do most of the conversion, but I'm getting the following error:

There's always a way to find the component guid. If it's installed, run this as
a .vbs VBScript. It will tell you every component guid and file name on the

Here's my reply to an earlier thread, "Execute an MSI within an MSI":
You can, but not in a very nice way. You can run pretty much anything as an

No. You cannot "Chain" one MSI from another. This is a limitation of
the Windows Installer technology.
To run both MSI's you'll need a bootstrapper. Have a search through the
archives as there are plenty of references of bootstrappers as this is a
fairly frequent question.

Hi,
I use an msbuild step that calls out to MT.exe that updates the

Hi,
I'm using MSBuild to create Bootstraper for my MSI installation which
checks and installs .Net Framework if necessary. The whole installation

Hi,
First, check that your Windows Installer Version is current, I remember
Error 2902 was part of a MSI engine fix sometime ago.
If that's not it, try splitting the cab file. Unfortunally, WiX doesn't seem
