[WiX-users] [WIX-Users] Not allowed to installer a folder with spaces in it?
Hi All, I have this code snippet in my WIX script, Which should create a directory called Documents\My iCalibra Flow Plans Instead when I compile it I get an error, The CreateFolder/@Directory attribute's value, 'My iCalibra Flow Plans', is not a legal identifier. Identifiers may contain ASCII characters A-Z, a-z, digits, underscores (_), or periods (.). Every identifier must begin with either a letter or an underscore. C:\Dev\iC3\Source\iC3InstallerWIX\Product.wxs Is there any way around this?

[WiX-users] My documents folder from within WIX
Hi All, I have a WIX installer that uses the 'LocalAppDataFolder' property to get the data folder directory (it is different for different OSs). I want to do the same for the 'My documents' folder. What is the corresponding property?

Re: [WiX-users] How to run another msi from our msi installer
Running an msi from another msi is not supported, and will not work. What you have to do is create a bootstrapper. This is an exe file that will check for certain prerequisites and install them, and then it will run your msi. I have found the 'bootstrap manifest generator' to be of use (it is a bit unstable though). Have a look here, http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/bmg Also you can use visual studio to create a bootstrapper for you. When you create an installer package within visual studio it gives you bootstrapper options, and then spits out a file called setup.exe Search around on google, there is heaps out there on the subject. Otherwise get back to me if you want more of a hand.

Re: [WiX-users] Running SQL scripts under WIX
Thanks guys. That is right on the money to do with ANSI and UNICODE. I found this too FYI, http://n2.nabble.com/Error-executing-sql-scripts-with-WIX-td1488703.html And the characters in that post were the same ones I had. But I remember now, the first time I created that script I used visual studio to create a text file for me. This time around I created a blank file using notepad and used that. Thanks, Peter.

[WiX-users] Running SQL scripts under WIX
Hi All, I have a rather disturbing problem that I am having a lot of trouble figuring out. Our WIX installer is adding a database, and running a SQL script as it does the install. It looks like this, And the SQL script looks like this (the first part anyway), SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CollectedBatchStore]( [uid] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CollectedBatchStoreName] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL, [DataType] [smallint] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.CollectedBatchStore] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( ETC ETC Anyway it all compiles properly, but when I run the installer it complains with an error message, Error -2147217900: failed to execute SQL string. Incorrect syntax near '>>' (this is a funny character which has 2 arrows in one character) I look at the SQL profiler to see what SQL it is running, and I see this, Drop database Database Create database Database exec i>>?SET ANSI_NULLS ON You see after the exec above there are a few funny characters, and it should be starting at the 'SET ANSI_NULL ON' part of that statement. I don't understand where the characters are coming from.
