Properties are a runtime (install/repair/uninstall) concept. You need a build
time concept. Take a look at Preprocessor and Binder variables (WixVariable
element).

That should work. You probably don't need the CreateFolder element though.

You'd have to write a CustomAction to search for the SQL database and set a

Two repositories would explain the delay between code fixes and them appearing

I think it could work if you put LaunchConditions after CostFinalize in the

Otherwise, you could also use a CustomAction using the Error attribute and

Your suggestion also gave me the idea of including the license

I've found that getting the built-in user names is always tricky. There are
several different APIs and they all seem to have their preferences. You can
look at the code if you want to see which APIs are getting called or just play
around with the names until you find the ones that work.
Well, the theory is that by following legal guidance now we save ourselves
significant amount of pain later. Having to shutdown the WiX toolset because
of a patent infringement (which seems to be the worst case these days) would
