EnterpriseInstrumentation config file for me. But when I try to do the same
using ServiceInstall using WIX I'm not able to replicate it. What am I
missing.What can I do to overcome this.
Thanks in Advance

Hi all,
I´m creating an installer where we are using Red Gate´s SQL Packager to create
a database, I don´t want the Packager to be left behind on the machine after
install, but the only way I can find to run it is to have it installed along
with the product and run it with a quiet custom
I would guess your CustomAction/@Return is defaulting to 'check'. You could
try setting it to asyncNoWait/ignore and see if that remedies the problem.

I see that recent builds of Wix now allow us to set a firewall exception.
Am I right in concluding that it only affects inbound connections, and only

Yes. Well, actually, more likely WiX v3.5 with burn will supersede the
functionality completely. All of the ClickThrough related work moved to WiX v4.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. Since it looks like some sort of error in
the binary table, is it required to declare a second binary pointing to the
same script to use in the patch component? Is there some clashing since I'm
using SqlScript1 in both components?
Binary Id=SqlScript1
That just shows the ConfigureSql action had no work to do. Did you look at the
install states of your Components to see if things that you think are being
installed are actually being installed?

Well, neither of those things make sense to me but it all sounds very

badness on the client machine. GAC gone crazy?

Nothing natively supported by the Windows Installer.
In general, the better approach is to write DLL CustomActions that have very
few dependencies. Makes for a much more robust install.
