Hi
I'm creating a custom action that reads values from a custom table.
I want to specify a filename as we do in xmlconfig using [#foo.txt] or using
properties [INSTALLDIR]foo.txt.
I'm using DTF to create the Custom Action. How can I parse the value from
the custom table to get the Final full path?
Here's an example of how I create the user login for a database depending if
the database is on the same server as the web application or a different server
Some of the security stored procs I am using are obsolete in SQL2008 though
(this was built for SQL2000)

How do you do that? That is something I find could be very very useful
to me, not only username information, but all sorts of information that
could be useful during database creation, or u

It is now nearly 2am and I've spent literally hours searching the

I hope someone here can point me in the right direction.

Thanks for your help Blair.
Just to clarify for anyone else trying this. NotSet is actually a
string literal. So the correctly working condition is actually...
((WIX_DIRECTX_PIXELSHADERVERSION < 200) OR (
WIX_DIRECTX_PIXELSHADERVERSION = "NotSet" ) )
OR ((WIX_DIRECTX_VERTEXSHADERVERSION < 200)
There are three permission-style elements in WiX. Permission which works
with all supported versions of Windows Installer (and has several known
limitations), PermissionEx which works with Installer 5.0, and the

XMLFile uses the msxml3 engine that was released before XPath 1.0 became
finalized. As such, you have to set the SelectionLanguage attribute (the
obsolete working-draft predecessor to XPath is too different and too limited
and is the unfortunate "default").
Here is what I tested:

You need to look at SqlDatabase, SqlScript and SqlString.
I use SqlString to create users (with TSQL) and then assign them a role in the
target database, as SqlString expands formatted strings. This way I can pass
username information into the SQL script as an MSI property.

If your custom action runs before CostFinalize, use conditions based on
properties.
PROCESSEXIT=0
...
PROCESSEXIT<>0
...
If your custom action runs after CostFinalize, use MsiSetComponentState.
See the description of the "Condition" column in this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/l
Is it failing on the first action or just the second?

It really depends on how the SQLServer security is setup for the instance
and the database you are targeting. A SQL support resource would probably be
a better place to help you determine how to identify what kind of security
model is in place in the system you are targeting.

When using a non-released version, it is considered good practice to
consistently test building with the latest weekly release and to
periodically (monthly?) update your toolset to one of those newer builds to
avoid getting caught in an unsupported position as you are now in.

Creating files/etc. are things called state changes, which are supposed to
be performed by deferred actions run between InstallInitialize and

I want to run an ExeCommand CA and then decide which of two components to
install depending on the process's exit code . Is there a way to do this?
I can write a DllCommand to execute the .exe and assign the exit code to a

For released products yes there is generally an archive.
For alphas/betas/release candidates most people will generally not
bother since you inevitably want the release instead of a version still
in active development. Hence WiX v2.0 releases & WiX v3.0 releases are
available on SourceForge while
For development of new products we will most certainly explore newer versions
of WiX. However, for products already developed that have used this version,
we need to be able to site the version on the web. Strange that a version is
no longer available for download...usually there's an archive
I am writing a custom action with the following code. The Challenge is save
information during installation.
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult MyCA(Session session)
{
DBInformation obj_DBInformation = new DBInformation();
obj_DBInformation.Server = session["SERVERNAMEPROP"]
Session properties are the way to store the information.
I can create some properties in my Wix code and update the values like
session["PROPERTY1"]="j";
Can you provide more info as what are you planning to perform?
Thanks,
