1. No. The database is read-only while running. 2. I'm not sure you can add temporary tables, maybe.
3. You can add temporary rows. -----Original Message----- From: Nic Barden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 12:33 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Create and/or modify MSI database tables via DTF from CA Hi, I am trying to update the MSI tables at runtime from a Custom Action to perform token replacement in SQL Script files. The issue I am running into is that the Database that I get access to through the Session object says it has an OpenMode of ReadOnly (however the IsReadOnly property is false). I believe this is the reason that when I go to update either existing records, or add any new records, I get an error stating "Function failed during execution. Database: Table(s) Update failed.". When I execute the same code from a unit test I can reproduce the issue. However, when I open the database using a mode of "Transact" then I do not generate any errors. However, I obviously have no control over how the database is opened at runtime. So... - Can I update EXISTING table data somehow from a CA? - Can I add my own tables and data from a CA? - Can I add my own data to existing tables from a CA?
