If they are not in DTF then the WiX toolset doesn’t provide them. It’s assumed that most of what drove you to managed code would already be in the Framework so there isn’t the same level of need to invent the wheel.
Having said that, I like John’s reply. Cool system. I’ll have to remember that next time I’m faced with installers populating databases. Blair From: Levi Wilson Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 6:37 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Being out of the WiX installer world for a handful of years, I was used to writing all of my custom actions in C++. Getting back into this I noticed that it is now acceptable to write them in C# and the DTF. That being said, I have a custom action that is currently written in C++ that checks for the existence of a database as well as to verify if a particular table exists. For that, I am using the sqlutil.lib to make that easier. In C# custom actions, is there an equivalent or do most people just use SqlConnection / SqlCommand out of the .NET framework? Apologies if this is an obvious question, I just didn't want to re-invent the wheel if WiX had a helper library to assist with this. I didn't see any SQL related classes in DTF.
