Hi! I wrote custom actions with dtf (c#) that do some rather complicated xml manipulations/merges during installation (linq is great for that :) ). Next step would be to write unit tests for the ca's, but I'm kind of stuck there ... The ca's are split in immedeate and deferred parts and

Re: [WiX-users] how to run a sql script in SQLCMD Mode using WIX Tool

I had the same concern. Actually this solution implies to have the SQLCMD tool on the machine you're running the installer on. The only workaround I could find for this was to make myself a customaction which parses the script (with regex) to replace $() by some value and remove :setvar.

Bob, Thanks for your reply, but the problem is not related to the DDK or C++ projects. The DDK and C++ project setup is handled separately through hand-crafted references in their respective .wks files. Under WiX 3.5 this project built successfully using the same .wxs and .wixproj files. With
