Hi all, Newbie question:
I am working on a WiX project to deploy SQL Server databases to different environments and one of the requirements is the above. So the build process generates one MSI which is then executed on a deployment server passing the target server in as a variable. Two questions: 1. Is this scenario do-able with WiX? 2. If the answer to 1 is yes, the first stumbling block that I have come across is the need to deploy the deployment files to a directory with the server name. I am doing this by setting the INSTALLLOCATION with a custom action based on the server name being entered at executiontime. This is working fine with the first install of a new MSI but on rerunning with a different server parameter, the custom action-set INSTALLLOCATION is being overwritten with the one that was set on the first install as part of the MsiAssembly: MSI (s) (30:C0) [11:37:37:737]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: MsiAssembly MSI (s) (30:C0) [11:37:37:737]: Note: 1: 2228 2: 3: MsiAssembly 4: SELECT `MsiAssembly`.`Attributes`, `MsiAssembly`.`File_Application`, `MsiAssembly`.`File_Manifest`, `Component`.`KeyPath` FROM `MsiAssembly`, `Component` WHERE `MsiAssembly`.`Component_` = `Component`.`Component` AND `MsiAssembly`.`Component_` = ? MSI (s) (30:C0) [11:37:37:737]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying INSTALLLOCATION property. Its current value is 'C:\Program Files (x86)\MyDeploymentDirectory\SECONDINSTALLSERVERNAME'. Its new value: 'c:\Program Files (x86)\MyDeploymentDirectory\InvesTranRec\FIRSTINSTALLSERVERNAME'. Anyone any thoughts?
