Hello:
My goal is to write a sql server db installer which would install the db only
if it is not there.
Leave the db on unstall scenario.
Searched around the web and could not find anything.
Came across this post from Rob and few similar on the web...
"You'd have to write a CustomAction to search for the SQL database and set a
Property or something like that. It's on the feature requests but hasn't been
added to the SQL code today."
OK.. I wrote a managed custom action and invoked it. That was not hard. Thanks
folks.
But then I could not read a session variable set in managed code in
installation.
Here is what I have:
In managed code:
session["FROMCUSTOMACTION"] = "1";
In Wxs file:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CustomActionIdHere" Before="InstallInitialize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<Feature Id='SqlFeature' Title='SqlFeature' Level='1'>
<!-- If the condition is true, level will be 0 and the feature will not
be installed. -->
<Condition Level='0'>FROMCUSTOMACTION=1</Condition>
<ComponentRef Id='SqlComponent'/>
</Feature>
<Property Id='SQLUSER'>username</Property>
<Property Id='FROMCUSTOMACTION'>0</Property>
What am I doing wrong here ?
Thanks
balu.
Ps: And then I have to solve the db issue.
