You'll need: 1) storage of SqlPackage.exe and it's binary dependencies in the Binary Table; 2) a custom action to stream these bits to a convenient place to run them; 3) a custom action to stream the DACPAC, DLL, and publish.xml file to a convenient place; 4) a custom action to setup your SqlCmdV

You can either use MSBuild with the .wixproj, or you can run candle/light manually (they don't look at the WixProject file). If you're running candle/light manually, then you have to specify the extension on the command line: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/general/extension_u

There isn't any way to force part of an msi to run first. Could you rebuild whatever it is you are calling to make it not require the VC runtime. Neil -Original Message- From: Gabi Ganam [mailto:gabi.ga...@aternity.com] Sent: 22 May 2014 15:30 To: General discussion about the WiX tools

It is too big a change, is there a way to force the merge modules to be installed first? They are gathered as 1 "Feature", and my entire product is another "Feature". And it seems that you're correct - it's not the CA that requires the VC, it is my program (which the CA executes). I guess I'll b

I'd suggest you need a bundle which installs the vcredist first (using the exe version) and then runs your msi. (It is not CAQuietExec that requires VC I would assume it is whatever you are running with it.) Neil -Original Message- From: Gabi Ganam [mailto:gabi.ga...@aternity.com] Sen
