WiX v3 is not stable right now. WiX v2 works much better. When WiX v2 is complete (soon, assuming shipping Vista and Office lets up soon) then I'll port all those fixes up to WiX v3.

Dear All, I've playing with WiX for a week now and it's a great toolset, but I've hit a wall with a particularly strange error. I'm using WiX 3.0.2526 (last week's build). Here's a snippet from my .wxs file: <sql:SqlDatabase Id="MsSqlDatabase" Database="anova" Server="(local)\SQLEXPRESS" CreateOnInstall="yes" DropOnUninstall="yes" ContinueOnError="no"> <sql:SqlString Id="Blah" ExecuteOnInstall="yes" SQL='CREATE TABLE "Pants" ( "Id" int not null )' /> </sql:SqlDatabase> The above works great -- the database is created with a "Pants" table sitting inside it. Unfortunately, I've got about a bajillion such queries to run, so I thought I'd use SqlScript instead: <sql:SqlDatabase Id="MsSqlDatabase" Database="anova" Server="(local)\SQLEXPRESS" CreateOnInstall="yes" DropOnUninstall="yes" ContinueOnError="no"> <sql:SqlScript Id="MsSqlDdlInstall" BinaryKey="CreateMsSqlDdlScript" ExecuteOnInstall="yes" /> </sql:SqlDatabase> For testing purposes, I've put the same exact "CREATE TABLE" line that I used in SqlString in the file identified by the binary key in SqlScript. But every time I run the installer, it exits prematurely: MSI (s) (D8:78) [17:22:55:953]: Doing action: ConfigureSql Action 17:22:55: ConfigureSql. Configuring SQL Server Action start 17:22:55: ConfigureSql. MSI (s) (D8:58) [17:22:55:968]: Invoking remote custom action.

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2769. The arguments are: ConfigureSql, 5, Action ended 17:22:56: ConfigureSql. Return value 3. I saw postings that referred to the encoding of this file; I've tried ANSI, UTF-8, and UTF-16 (Big and Little Endian), but still no joy. Any thoughts or ideas? I appreciate it!
