I've built an installer for a backend service which communicates with a database. When the installer is run, the user selects the database from a list of detected databases on the network.
The person who is running the install may not have rights to these databases so I give them the opportunity to give me another pair of credentials. Is it okay to impersonate these Credentials during the install. To bemore specific, in one of my install screens, I will have textboxes where they give me a user name and password that has access to these databases. Before I start my executing my logic to create the database, I'm going to impersonate this username and password in a custom action and then create the database on the remote sql server. I'm am familiar with the impersonating tag on the custom actions. I believe that applies to the current user who is running the install. I need to impersonate a completely different user. I looked through the other emails I've on the WIX distribution and have not seen any posts that could help me out .. Anyone tackle something like this before ? Thanks !
