Classification: Public Enrique, Why are you using a custom action to change the banner of the MSI? There is a WIX element to do that: <WixVariable Overridable="yes" Id='WixUIBannerBmp' Value="$(var.resourcePath)\TFSTopBanner.bmp"/> <WixVariable Overridable="yes" Id='WixUIDialogBmp' Value="$(var.resourcePath)\TFSSide.bmp"/>

It's C# code and looks like: Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Database db = session.Database; string stSQL = @"UPDATE `Control` SET `Text`=? WHERE `Type`='Bitmap' AND `Control`='BannerBitmap'"; Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Record rc = db.CreateRecord(1); Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.View vw=db.OpenView(stSQL); rc.SetString(1, MyBannerBmp); vw.Execute(rc); rc.SetString(1, MyDialogBmp); vw.Execute(rc); But UPDATE always fails with: 'Database Table(s) Update Failed' at vw.Execute line. I have tested a couple of different ways, always failing. Please, could somebody pointing me in right direction? I suppose as I was able to update PROPERTIES, I could update Control table fields. Thanks a lot.
