Is it possible in my Compiler extension to add an attribute to an existing
wix element, like the bal:Overridable attribute was added?
I created a xsd and added to my extension, which adds my new attribute to
the util:User element. While I did not implement the underlying parsing
code or the CA yet, when add the myext:My
<util:User Id="SrvActCfg" .... myx:MyAttribute="yes" />
error CNDL0202: The util:User element contains an unsupported extension
attribute ' myx:MyAttribute'. The util:User element does not currently
support extension attributes. ...
So based on this message I am not sure if this plan is totally unsupported
and I must add a new element, or if I just have a xsd definition issue
somewhere.
At a higher level my plan was to figure out how to use a semi-custom action,
based on Bob's blog to modify the information related to user account in the
msi db at runtime. The reason is that when I install a service I may or may
not actually need to create the user, and depending on whether the passed in
account name is our default name I would want to hide it from the welcome
screen. Some other account name should not be hidden from the welcome
screen (and a few other business tweaks at run time).
Thank you for any thoughts.
