Subject: [WiX-users] Where to store SQL Server login credentials for uninstall? Hello WiX community, This is rather a 'best practice' question. My installation needs MS SQL server credentials to run attach scripts. This info is requested from user. Those values which are necessary during uninstall are usually kept in system registry. But in this case we are storing MS SQL password in plain text. Is there any other way to secure this info, but still have it available during uninstall? I can think only about storing hash at the moment... Thank you. -- Yan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
