John, how were you able to accomplish this? I tried to explicitly do this like so:
<Property Id="EMPTY_USER" /> <Property Id="EMPTY_PASSWORD" /> <util:User Id='SqlInstallerUserId' Name='[EMPTY_USER]' Password='[EMPTY_PASSWORD]' /> Doing so yields "ExecuteSqlStrings: Error 0x80040e4d: failed to connect to database: '<my database>'" in the output log, and the EMPTY_USER and EMPTY_PASSWORD do not even show up (because they were never set). I'm not sure how to get them to evaluate to empty, but I thought that would suffice. Since it did not, then I tried this: <Property Id="EMPTY_USER" Value="something" /> <Property Id="EMPTY_PASSWORD" Value="something" /> <SetProperty Id="EMPTY_USER" After="AppSearch" Value="" /> <SetProperty Id="EMPTY_PASSWORD" After="AppSearch" Value="" /> In the output log, I see the original property values, then when it sets them to empty it says it's "Deleting" the properties because their values are empty, and I still get the same error: ExecuteSqlStrings: Error 0x80040e4d: failed to connect to database: '<my database>' I have a feeling I'm missing something simple. Additionally, I thought I would be able to set the "User_" column of the "SqlDatabase" table to a NULL to try to get that to happen, but apparently you can't modify a value in the MSI database at runtime?
