When you built your MSI, open it then with Orca and verify the presence of the InstallSqlData and DuplicateFiles actions in the InstallExecuteSequence. The first is controlled by the SqlExtension, the second one is in default WiX schema, <DuplicateFiles/> element. You don't have to re-define these actions with <CustomAction/> element to change the exec order, just reference it the way I described before.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to duplicate files before InstallSqlData Hi I can't make this work. I haven't defined the custom actions DuplicateFiles or InstallSqlData. I didn't belive they where custom actions. InstallSqlData perhaps is a custom action defined by the SQL-extension but I don't know how the extensions works... If I do as Yan suggests I get the error messages: Unresolved reference to symbol 'CustomAction:DuplicateFiles' in section 'Product:{GUID}'. And Unresolved reference to symbol 'WixAction:InstallUISequence/InstallSqlData' in section 'Product:{GUID}'. I must be missing something simple... -----Original Message----- From: Yan Sklyarenko [mailto:y...@sitecore.net] Sent: den 9 januari 2009 16:35 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to duplicate files before InstallSqlData I think you can do it like this: <InstallExecuteSequence> ... <Custom Action="DuplicateFiles" Before="InstallSqlData">YOUR CONDITION GOES HERE</Custom> ... </InstallExecuteSequence> -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Peter Björkman [mailto:peter.bjork...@aptus.se] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 4:38 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] How to duplicate files before InstallSqlData Hello I need to duplicate some files before my sql scripts are being run. How can I schedule the InstallSqlData after the DuplicateFiles? The files I need to copy is being installed so duplicate files must come between InstallFiles and InstallSqlData. Now my actions have theses sequence numbers: InstallFiles 4000 InstallSqlData 4001 DuplicateFiles 4200 And I need something like this: InstallFiles 4000 DuplicateFiles 4100 InstallSqlData 4101 The reason why I need to do like this is that I have a sql-script attaching a pair of .mdf and .ldf -files with sp_attach_db. In some cases I need to use another pair of .mdf and .ldf -files.
