Right, I remember having run into this a long time ago.  It has to do when
you add a nullable column, but then do not specify information for that
column in the row data.  I'll take a look at the code again and get back to
you on this.

Subject: [NAntC-Dev] MSITask - Nullable Columns in Tables

Hi everybody,

First off all: whoever did that MSITask, that is just great!!! It is ene of
the most useful pieces of software for me in a long time.

But I have one question:

I am trying to include the ServiceInstall table with [1]. The problem is
that I can't get nullable columns to work. If I use [1] I get 

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Modify,Mode,Record
   at System.RuntimeType.ForwardCallToInvokeMember(String memberName,
BindingFlags flags, Object target, Int32[] WrapperTypes, MessageData&
msgData)
   at WindowsInstaller.View.Modify(MsiViewModify Mode, Record Record)
   at NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.MSITask.AddTableData(Database Database, Type
InstallerType, Object InstallerObject, String currentTable, MSITable table,
ArrayList columnList)

Now, I don't think it has anything to do with the row element. I tried
removing the row element altogether in order to create just an empty
ServiceInstall table. That worked, but when I look at the msi file in Orca,
all the columns are required. It seems that the nullable attribute of the
column element doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong? I did have a look
at the C# source code and it looked ok to me, but I am not familiar with the
Windows Installer API at all...

Thanks for any help!!

David
