Thanks Neil! Following is code from my config file for dotNetInstaller:
<component command="#CABPATH\SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe" cmdparameters="/QS /ACTION=Install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=SQL,Tools /ERRORREPORTING=0 /INSTANCENAME="MyWebsite"" uninstall_package="" uninstall_cmdparameters="" uninstall_cmdparameters_silent="" uninstall_cmdparameters_basic="" id="SQLServer2008 x86" display_name="SQL Server 2008 (x86)" uninstall_display_name="" os_filter="" os_filter_min="" os_filter_max="" os_filter_lcid="" type="exe" installcompletemessage="" uninstallcompletemessage="" mustreboot="False" reboot_required="" must_reboot_required="False" failed_exec_command_continue="" allow_continue_on_error="False" default_continue_on_error="False" required_install="True" required_uninstall="True" selected_install="True" selected_uninstall="True" note="" processor_architecture_filter="x86" status_installed="" status_notinstalled="" supports_install="True" supports_uninstall="False" show_progress_dialog="True" show_cab_dialog="True"> <installedcheck path="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL" fieldname="SQLEXPRESS" fieldvalue="" defaultvalue="False" fieldtype="REG_SZ" comparison="value_exists" rootkey="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" wowoption="WOW64_32" type="check_registry_value" description="Check for SQLExpress 2008" /> <embedfile sourcefilepath="#APPPATH\SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe" targetfilepath="SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe" /> </component> <component package="#APPPATH\MySiteSetup.msi" cmdparameters="" cmdparameters_silent="/qn" cmdparameters_basic="/qb-" uninstall_package="" uninstall_cmdparameters="/qb-" uninstall_cmdparameters_silent="/qn" uninstall_cmdparameters_basic="/qb-" id="MySiteSetup.msi" display_name="MySiteSetup.msi" uninstall_display_name="" os_filter="" os_filter_min="" os_filter_max="" os_filter_lcid="" type="msi" installcompletemessage="" uninstallcompletemessage="" mustreboot="False" reboot_required="" must_reboot_required="False" failed_exec_command_continue="" allow_continue_on_error="True" default_continue_on_error="False" required_install="False" required_uninstall="False" selected_install="True" selected_uninstall="True" note="" processor_architecture_filter="" status_installed="" status_notinstalled="" supports_install="True" supports_uninstall="True" show_progress_dialog="True" show_cab_dialog="True"> <embedfile sourcefilepath="#APPPATH\MySiteSetup.msi" targetfilepath="MySiteSetup.msi" /> </component> Its giving error "failed to install SQL Server 2008". I have checked the command line and its working fine. I have 2 more questions: 1. Here Mysitesetup.msi is my main application for which I am creating bootstrapper. Where should i place it so that its not shown as one of the companents needed to be installed first? 2. Once setup.exe is created by dotnetInstaller, i see the Copyright details is about "DevAge...." How I can set it to my organization name as we do in WIX msi? Your help is much appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/CustomAction-fails-with-error-code-1603-tp6000977p6009438.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
