Hello, this is my first posting on the mailing list. ;-) Prior to WiX, I used Flexnet Adminstudio for creating MSI files for software I developed. Since AdminStudio does not only have many features but also many bugs and moreover it does not integrate in my development processes, I decided to give WiX a try.
The software I want to create an installer for is rather complicated. It consists of four components: A database, a web application that connects to the database, a service that connects to the database and a registry component that needs information about the web application. Also, the user, the service is running under has to be created and given certain privileges as well as given access to the newly created database. That's basically it. ;-) For the SQL server part: Is there any way to show up an editable dropdown list with WiX into which the user can enter the address of an SQL server, or select one from the list (that should have been enumerated by WiX before)? Maybe someone already did something like this. Yet another question: With ntrights.exe, you can add or remove certain privileges to or from a user account (such as SeServiceLogonRight). How can I make use of this in WiX? Or is there any other possibility of assigning rights to user accounts?
