Try placing the Shortcut element under the Component instead of the File
like the sample at
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/create_start_menu_shortcut.htm. You
would set the WorkingDirectory property to DesktopFolder.

There are a couple of ways to do this:
1. Write a custom action that connects to the database and runs a basic
SELECT query. Schedule the CA before LaunchConditions or when the Test

2. Use SqlDatabase and SqlString elements to connect to the database and run

Dominique,
You should really use the following in SQL Server 2008 to avoid additional
rework once these are deprecated:
Instead of sp_addlogin use CREATE LOGIN...
Instead of sp_grantdbaccess use CREATE USER...
To check if the server login exists, run the following:

Hello, I'm very new to WiX and Windows Installers in general. I'm
writing an installer that's a new add-on for an existing product. The
existing product has an XML file that I need to update. The new
installer uses XmlFile setValue to "rename" a specific attribute in that
XML file upon installation
Thanks for sharing this with us. I think it may just be what I'm looking
for.
Which stored procs are not in SQL2008? From what I can tell they are
still there, but have been marked for deprecation in future versions of
SQLServer.

The ICE wants shortcuts in components with HKCU registry keypaths because it
