Re: [WiX-users] Run As Admin required to run installer as passive from command line

Re: [WiX-users] Conditional SSPI / SQL Authentication on SqlScript

Well, the approach we take is packaging SSDT in the installer and shipping it around. The sqlpackage.exe binary is quite small and has only a couple of dependencies. If this is a gray area for you, tbh I would consider putting the SSDT downloads as a part of your deployment package in some way.

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper question

MSI's are standalone packages. If you need to tie them together, do it with Burn/Bundle and a custom BA, so you can pass the property down to each MSI that needs it. Not only is this the most robust way, it's the preferred way of doing it. Using DisplayInternalUI is not recommended as it degrad
