Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3 Sql Extension not executing SqlScript
Amy, Our DB installation process originally specified the SQL instance by name regardless of it being the default instance or not. We discovered that if we named the default instance (MSSQLSERVER) DB creation would fail with "unknown error" after 10-15 minutes of churning along. Changing our process to only use an instance name if it is non-default allows our db build to work correctly. We don't use the filespec elements (default names are fine for us) so there may be something not working with those that is impacting you. You could try removing more elements and attributes and see if allowing default values to be used helps this.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3 Sql Extension not executing SqlScript
Just a quick bit of extra info on WiX version numbers: The first two digits of the Build part (major.minor.build.revision) are the 'project month number'. I think for WiX 3.0 this started at 10 and has incremented every month since. The second two digits are the day within the month. WiX 3.0 is still in a state of flux and hasn't been through stabilisation. Almost anything is allowed to change. Serious bugs may be fixed, but those fixes may introduce serious bugs of their own. The code may be reorganized and in the process, broken. Take your choice - latest feature set, or stabilized code? For the latter, choose v2. The latest builds can always be found at http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases. There's a build approximately every week, or more frequently if there's a serious regression, but it's as and when Rob and the other maintainers release one. If a feature doesn't work for you, try the build before or after. Particularly stable builds are placed on the main SourceForge project page at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105970&package_id=1688 88 after they've bedded down a little. You can see from these sites that the most recent build, 3419, was released last week on the 19th of October, and is about five months newer than the build you're currently working with, which is the latest on the SourceForge project page. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of EdB Sent: 18 October 2007 01:20 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3 Sql Extension not executing SqlScript I am able to use these elements successfully with 3.0.3328.0.

Apparently WiX v3 is working differently than WiX v2 that I use. Good luck!
