Wix actions can be set into "verbose" mode by setting the property LOGVERBOSE to 1. (read the comments in the following blog post: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/07/15/verbose-logging-from-wcautil/).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detach Databases on Uninstall Try using "msiexec /i <msiname> /l*vx <logname>" to get verbose logs. I'm not sure on what info the WiX Standard Custom Actions like SqlExtension put into the logs but those options should get everything & might help point out where it's failing. For some reason I've got a feeling there is some Property or variable you may need to set to get the Standard Custom Actions to put more stuff into the logs, not 100% sure on that though & I can't find any reference to it anywhere so I might be mixing it up with something else. Hopefully if it does exist someone else will remember what I'm rambling about & clarify.

I know the commands I have work but for some reason this action fails. We're using integrated authentication and I wonder if that might be part of it. I have also tried running osql/sqlcmd as an install action. It didn't work either and it didn't give me anything interesting in the log. Any suggestions? If I run these commands from a command line they work fine. Thanks! Nate <sql:SqlDatabase Id="Master" Server="."
