While it may be possible to do this, I certainly would stay away from
any scripting language custom actions. The most difficult part of this
would be to make it transactional/handling rollbacks. One option would
be to store the database creation and modification scripts with the
application and on first run after install or update, have your
application execute the SQL scripts.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Wix Installation Custom Action to Execute after a
directory is created
Hi all,
I have a config file to read database settings and set properties for
the wix installer database creation.
I want the installer to follow a sequence i.e
1. Put config file on a location
2. Execute custom action that call a vb/js script that reads
properties from config file for WIX
3. Then create sql database that would be a component
4. Then crete a few more directories
5. Then execute exe
Is this possible?
Or is there any other alternative to this(as I want the database
configurable everytime for every new installer version ,so the details
would be in config file)
Thanks,
yukti
