The app being installed is a Java app. Can't run it without Java being
installed. If Java isn't installed, the installer needs to quit with an
error msg to the user.

Here is something I had put together quite a while ago that works for me.
You should be able to modify it to do what you need. You could change the
CustomAction to SetProperty elements.
JAVA_JRE_HOME
SetJavaJdkJreHomeVBS.wxi:
http://schemas.mic
Use a custom action to set the Property.
In the InstallExecuteSequence, call the custom action:
Set the Before or After attribute to wherever you want the value set.

Re-looking at your code, I noticed that some of the sql:sqlString statements
don't have a sqlDb attribute on them. Not sure what the consequences are of

Kim,
I looked at your code. Seems to be OK.
Looking at my sql scripts, I have a GO command after each group of

would recommend downloading the SciTE editor as well - it has a lot of

By using heat, you can harvest the COM information from the file and add
that to your wix file. This works very well and also get removed correctly
when the product is uninstalled. Beats having to write custom actions for
install & uninstall.
