We had to roll a lot of code around this: DMO to list available SQL
servers, custom actions to browse for servers, verify SQL server
connectivity, etc. I'd be happy to share some code. 

... But before you go there, I strongly recommend that you move this
logic into your application, especially if it's a server-side product.
Implementing this in the installer is a major pain.

Cheers

Subject: [WiX-users] Database selection dialog

Hi,

Just wondering if Wix has anything built in that allows a user to select
an Sql server database (with windows / sql authentication, etc).  I'm
sure I've seen this in installs before (something similar to the connect
dialog in management studio).

If not, I take it that I have to write something myself?  If that's the
case, any chance someone could point me in the right direction.

I'm using Wix v3.

Cheers,
Adam
