Hi all,

I am trying to insert a custom action dll programatically into an MSI
database using the following code:

private void InsertCustomActionDll(string msiLocation)
    {
      //get the records in memory
      Database database = new Database(msiLocation,
DatabaseOpenMode.Direct);

      Record record = new Record(2);
      record.FormatString = "Name = [1], Data = [Binary Data]";
      record.SetString(1, "TyrellTest");
      record.SetStream(2, @"TestCustomActions.CA.dll");
      

      Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.View view =
        database.OpenView("Insert into Binary (`Name`,`Data`) VALUES ({0},
{1})", record.GetString(1),  record.GetStream(2));

      view.Execute();
      view.Close();

      database.Close();
    }

However, it fails with the following InstallerException: Message = "SQL
query syntax invalid or unsupported. Database: MyMSI.msi. Invalid identifier
'[Binary' in SQL query: Insert into Binary (`Name`,`Data`) VALUES ('Test',
[Binary data])"

Does anyone have any idea why? I would have thought using
record.GetStream(2) would ensure that it was attempting to insert a stream
type.

Thanks in advance.
Lewis
