You would need to define the table schema using the CustomTable element.
Try using dark.exe on an msi which has thay merge modules and seeing what
CustomTable elements you get in the output.
Hope that helps

Set the name as a global property, generate the name in a custom action, there
you can use datetime.Tostring("HHmmss ") to format it any way you like,
then put the value back into the session object where you can now use it any
way you like.

Hi Rob,
As far as I can tell from the docs (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372079%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), the
format of the time might include a colon, such as 18:57:00, which isn't a
valid file name on Windows.

My guess (only a guess) is that you're deploying with SqlPackage since the

No. There is no way for Packages to communicate Properties back to the Bundle.

Hi there,
I want to make a backup of a file during a major upgrade. The CopyFIle
element is pretty much what I need, but I'd like to generate the

Is there a way to do this with WiX that doesn't require me to use a custom

Is your installer installing at least one thing, such as a dummy text file?
The install won't run otherwise.

I think you will need to write a custom action that uses the AddPrinter api.
DIFxApp is probably out of the question since you don't have driver files. HP
