I had many on the list request the sample files. As such, I rushed to complete my blog post.
http://blogs.kungfucoder.com/blog/post/2011/11/29/Database-Installation-using-VCDBCMD-and-WIX.aspx Feel free to comment, as described in the blog, I do not advertise this as the "ideal" way, because of how I structured the projects; it is more of an attempt to make things clearer to those who are new using WiX. (I remember how overwhelmed I was with the markup at first). Anyway, do let me know if you have questions. Hopefully this helps.

Our current installer(installshield) works in this way : 1. There are couple of .sql files which are included in the installers 2. Few variables in the .sql gets replaces with the entries on the dialogs shown. Like the Database Name, Server Name 3. There is remote installation of the Database which happens properly. Any suggestion how this can be achieved in the WIX installer.
