I have made a bootstrapper-project with WiX 3.8. The chain includes the installation of the prerequisite SQL Server Express 2012. In the InstallCommand for SQL Server Express i'm using an user and his password. That user must be installed before the prerequisite, so i added to an MsiPackage, which runs before the prerequisite the following lines after the Package-entry:
<Product ...> <Package InstallerVersion="405" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" /> <util:Group Id="Users" Name="Users" /> <Component Id="InstallUser" Guid="{24709736-CC6D-4B50-AD50-AB0ABC1CE4BA}"> <util:User Id="SQLUser" CreateUser="yes" RemoveOnUninstall="no" UpdateIfExists="no" Name="[DB_USER]" Password="[DB_PW]" PasswordNeverExpires="yes"> <util:GroupRef Id="Administrators"/> </util:User> </Component> [...] </Product> Each time i try to rebuild my solution, i receive the error message "The Component/@Directory attribute was not found; it is required." What to do? Thanks in advance!
