Add I set the shortcut's working directory to %USERPROFILE%, with intension
to set the Start In with different values under differ users.
Unfortunately this value was resolved and wrote same value for all user.
Any ideas
Try placing the Shortcut element under the Component instead of the File
like the sample at
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/create_start_menu_shortcut.htm. You
would set the WorkingDirectory property to DesktopFolder.

It's not overwriting the old object, it is creating a new object each time
the custom action is invoked so you can't save state like this. A better
approach would be to write the object's data into a custom table. When you
need to create the collection, iterate through the rows in the table,
];
obj_PDBInformation.Server = session[PORTPROP];
obj_PDBInformation.Server = session[USERPROP];
So how to write a object's data like in above lines into custom table and
iterate throught rows? Please give me example code to understand the
concept.
Thanks a lot

You should really use the following in SQL Server 2008 to avoid additional
rework once these are deprecated:
Instead of sp_addlogin use CREATE LOGIN...
Instead of sp_grantdbaccess use CREATE USER...
To check if the server login exists, run the following:
SELECT 1 FROM
There are a couple of ways to do this:
1. Write a custom action that connects to the database and runs a basic
SELECT query. Schedule the CA before LaunchConditions or when the Test
button is clicked.
2. Use SqlDatabase and SqlString elements to connect to the database and run
a basic SELECT

XmlConfig only allows for adding or deleting elements.
I understand this is more straightforward when you want to rollback.

You can also use 7-zip. It does that for free.
