Custom tables can be used whenever you want to store some data that doesn't fit into the standard MSI schema. To be useful, you have to create some custom actions to process the table and perform actions based on it. A very large number of WiX features depend on the generation of custom tables.
Dark generates <CustomTable> elements whenever it encounters anything it doesn't understand. The ISComponentExtended table is an InstallShield extension to the MSI schema and as far as I can see is completely undocumented. If you're moving from InstallShield to WiX you'll have to work out what these extra actions do by referring back to the InstallShield project. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of SaiTeja Sent: 21 January 2008 10:53 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] CustomTable Hi, Can anyone explain about "CustomTable"? Why & Where it is useful? When I open my Client.msi orca I saw "IsComponentExtended" on right side(Tables row) It is showing components which are already there at components on right side(Tables row) What is the difference b/w them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
