Yes,
What I want to do is my custom action depends on a file to be present in the
directory which is created by installer and at the same time I have create
database inside directory tag:
<directory ……….>
<Component Id="ConfigComponent" Guid="080714c4-708f-41c8-b6aa-05d570516e71">
<File Id="ConfigFile" Name="abc.exe.config"
Source="abc.config " />
</Component>
<Component Id='SqlComponent' Guid='ad0da39a-D8C7-4102-BA84-9702188FA316'
KeyPath='yes'>
<util:User Id='SQLUser' Name='[DBUSERNAME]' Password='[DBPASSWORD]' />
<sql:SqlDatabase Id='SqlDatabase' Database='MyTestDatabase'
User='SQLUser' Server="[DBSERVERNAME]" ConfirmOverwrite="yes"
CreateOnInstall='yes' DropOnUninstall='no'
ContinueOnError='no'>
</sql:SqlDatabase>
</Component>
</directory>
And a custom action that sets ="[DBSERVERNAME] which requires the config file.
Can you help me with this

At a certain level it sounds like you want a batch file not a declarative
transacted install.

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
