Hi, As you may know, Visual Studio 11 Beta now comes with native LocalDb support<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/87sfaezs(v=vs.110).aspx>instead of SQL Express. I have a wix 3.6 project (that references the WixSqlExtension) that creates a database and runs some SQL scripts against this database. This runs fine when the the server name used is ".\SqlExpress". However, replacing it with (LocalDB)\v11.0<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510202.aspx> (the connection string for localdb) does not work. I see the following error in the log:
*InstallSqlData: Skipping ScaSqlStrsRead() - SqlString and/or SqlDatabase table not present* My questions are: - Is there a way to use WixSqlExtension with localdb? - If I write a C# CustomAction that manually creates the database using (LocalDB)\v11.0 connection string, will it work (the machine will have .NET 4.5)? Here is a msdn forum post <http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ar-SA/sqlexpress/thread/b5c9a1fa-75fc-41f2-a5d3-4b2b6ed4ebde>that is similar to this problem.
