Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF - install, rollback and uninstall The SSRS data driven CA prototype I sent you back in November has a custom table with a Component_ column. The _ signifies it's a FK back to the PK of the Component table. MSI is only loosely a relational database. There aren't any real foreign key constraint capabilities.
