Try setting Execute="immediate" if you don't need the Custom Action to run elevated (see http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_customaction.htm). Have you set the Return attribute in your CustomAction Element & what are you doing with the output from the SQL query? Code samples go a long way when asking for help.
I'm not an SQL user but have you tried using WiXSQLExtension rather than a Custom Action or is what you're trying to do not possible with WiXSQLExtension?

Installs some files on the users machine,<br/> 2.) Custom Action that executes a SELECT SQL-Query after the files has been installed.<br/> <br/><br/> I want to show the output of the SELECT SQL-Query to be shown in the "Exit dialogbox" as scrolltext.<br/> What is creating problem is that the CA is executed in deferred mode which doesnt have acess to the session object. <br/> <br/><br/><br/> How should I show the output of deferred action in Exit dialog Box? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Output-of- deferred-custom-action-tp5371612p5371612.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
