Your CustomAction will need to be a "deferred" custom action, if it is to occur after the database is created.

Hello... I'm using WiX 3.5 SQL Extension to create a database, create tables, and copy a windows service, and start the windows service. I'm trying to write a custom action to read a value in the database before the service is started. The custom action is run before "StartServices" sequence. I thought the database should be created before StartServices sequence. <Custom Action="CheckDatabase" Before="StartServices"></Custom> When CheckDatabase is called, it said the database does not exist. What install execute sequence can I connect my custom action to check if the database is created. I have to do this after InstallSqlData and before StartServices sequence. Please help. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
