Thanks David. I got this to work! Seems that putting USE master; in
front of the script did the trick. Which makes complete sense now. So
sending your code helped! I appreciate your time!

I've done restores successfully this way. Profiler will help determine
the call(s) made and more details about why they failed.
Eric, assuming that you're using integrated security, are you sure that
your installer is running elevated at the point where the restore is
attempted?

Not much that is helpful. When I've had really hard SQL issues, I've
always used the SQL profiler to dig through all the calls and find the
one that is failing.
Note: I have seen successful attaches of database files but never tried
to do a restore from backup. I always have issues restoring from
backup.

Re: [WiX-users] Patching SQL Database with script
Could you give a little more information? Would these new scripts need to be included in a separate component other than my SQL Database component? In my installer I am creating a new database and running a script CreateTable.sql on the install. This works. For the patch I changed the CreateTable.sql to AlterTable.sql in my Setup.wxs. I want to include new sql scripts in the updated .msi and create a patch that will execute the changed sql. Does it need to have a different Binary Key? When executing the patch.msp I get an option to Change/Repair/Remove. I've tried both Change and repair, but it seems Change is the option I want to use since it asks for the SQL credentials. The assemblies are getting updated but the script is not being run. I'm a little unsure how this is all suppose to work.

[WiX-users] Patching SQL Database with script
My initial installer creates the SQL database perfectly, but I want to be able to include new SQL scripts to be run with my patches. Could someone give me some insight on how to do this?

Eric,
My apologies for leaving that part out. CustomOutputPath needs to be
used
to set the value of OutputPath. So your Debug and Release
PropertyGroups
end up looking like the following
PropertyGroup Condition= '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'
OutputPath$(CustomOutputPath)/OutputPath
IntermediateOutputPathobj\Debug\/IntermediateOutputPath
DefineConstantsDebug/DefineConstants
/PropertyGroup
PropertyGroup Condition= '$(Configuration)' == 'Release'
OutputPath$(CustomOutputPath)/OutputPath
IntermediateOutputPathobj\Release\/IntermediateOutputPath
/PropertyGroup
Note that in the above your output path ends up being the same for debug
and
release.
Gavin :)

I think I'm very close. It still builds my .msi, but I can't get the

Sounds like you need to pass the desired output path to msbuild from
nant.
You can use the /property command line argument to msbuild.exe to pass
property values from NAnt into MSBUILD.
We use the a NAnt exec task that looks something like the following:
exec
program=${framework::get-framework-directory(framework::get-target-fram
ewor
k())}\msbuild.exe resultproperty=msbuild.result failonerror=false
arg value=${product.sln}/

arg value=/logger:Kobush.Build.Logging.XmlLogger,${
XmlLogger4MSBuild.directory}\bin\Release\Kobush.Build.dll;${compile.log.
xml}
/
/exec
You could just add another argument to the list of args
arg value=/property:CustomOutputPath=your output path/
arg value=/property:CustomOutputName=your output file

Re: [WiX-users] Build Fails with NAnt. The format of thefile 'NAntTasks.dll' is invalid.
Great, that worked. I was able to build my installer using my NAnt build
file. However. I need to specify an output path every time the .msi gets
built. Right now the output path is what is set in the protect
properties. The reason I need to separate the build versions is that
ultimately I need to look at the different versions to create patches.
Can you recommend a way to do this with the msbuild command?

One option to consider is using the shipping MSBuild .targets file that
has a complete build process for WiX in conjunction with NAnt. Trying to
re-construct a build process using individual tasks is often fraught
with peril, and using the one that ships with WiX is almost always a
better idea.
You would create a .wixproj that uses the MSBuild process for building
WiX (a quick way to do this is to create a WiX project in Visual
Studio), and then in your nant build script just do msbuild
project=myinstaller.wixproj. You'll get our well-tested and supported
build process for free, yet still be able to use nant as your overall
build driver.

You could just add another argument to the list of args

You will then have to update your wixproj file to use these property

to populate OutputPath and OutputName as appropriate.
Hope that helps,
Gavin :)

This seems like it is the way I need to go but the example was outdated and the code didn't compile. I'm not very familiar with C++, do you have an example that I could follow? Thanks, Eric From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wilson, Phil Sent: Monday, March 10, 2008 5:39 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Validate Product Key Dialog with custom action You can't get there from here. The infrastructure for calling managed code custom actions isn't natively supported by MSI, and even if you did all the arm-waving to make it work as a custom action (called from the UI sequence) it's so decoupled from the install that you cannot use it to set a property in the install. This is important because you probably need to disable the next button until the key is valid, and this mechanism uses properties. When I say arm waving I don't mean the InstallUtilLib.dll stuff, bad as it is, I assume that you are in the UI sequence and no files have been installed. How do you get your assembly onto the system, and how do you call it? This is a mountain of code. Speaking of mountains, there's a mountain of opinion in the archives and elsewhere on calling managed code custom actions, most of which falls into two categories : 1) Don't do it because of the issues involved and 2) Why the heck doesn't WiX/MSI support it. So if all you're going to do is look at the text of the key and say Yes or No, then vbscript isn't too bad. If you're going out into the world to read files or the internet, C++ is recommended.

[WiX-users] SQL Express 2005 bootstrap
I have added a bootstrap for the SQL Express installer. Everything builds and the .msi gets created but, when I run the installer it starts extracting the SQL Express as expected. I then get an error message saying There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. What can I do to debug this problem? Below is my bootstrap code inside my .wxs file. Am I missing something?
