I would like to be able to dynamically add custom tables to my WiX source
file. I have a variety of MSIs that all need these custom tables and I would
like to catch the WiX compilation phase right before it expands all the
variables values and insert these tables. For example, if I detect a certain
preprocessor variable, then I will now to add these custom tables to the WiX
source file. My tables also have preprocessor information like the
following:
<CustomTable Id="MyTable">
<Column Id="Property_" Type="string" PrimaryKey="yes" />
<?foreach path in in $(var.paths) ?>
<Row>
<Data Column="Property_">$(var.path)</Data>
</Row>
<?endforeach?>
</CustomTable>
So if I detect the paths variable, I want to insert this text into the
source right before WiX compiles it. I tried overriding the
PreprocessDocument method, but the XmlDocument passed to it seems to have
already been processed. Plus I can see the outerxml code that had my
defines.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
