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 button is clicked.
2. Use SqlDatabase and SqlString elements to connect to the database and run a basic SELECT query. Of course the check will occur when the component is being installed. Hope this helps. -farooq -----Original Message----- From: Selvakumar B [mailto:selvakuma...@realimage.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 12:47 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Test sql connection how can I test sql server connection before installation? ================================= server :_______ O win mode O sql mode user :______ pass:______ ------------------- | Test Button | ------------------- ================================= Regards, Selvakumar B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
