Yes, but at runtime you can only add them temporarily. See 
http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/.

 Also I need to localize installations, can I distribute installations
 with languages in the msi, or should I create ransforms and use a
 setup-boot strapper to apply the tranform before launching the msi.
   

Each MSI is language-specific, so language transforms on a 
neutral-language MSI is an efficient way to go.

[WiX-users] Adding tables to msi installations and localizing

2008-08-28 Thread Sean Farrow
Hi; 
Does windows installer allow me to add custom tables to an installation.
Basically I have a custom action that retrieves a number of registry
keys. I only know the number of keys at run-time. What is the best way
of handling this. I need to use derived information from the registry
keys in a dialog.

Also I need to localize installations, can I distribute installations
with languages in the msi, or should I create ransforms and use a
setup-boot strapper to apply the tranform before launching the msi.
Cheers
Sean.
