Hi, When using InstallShield, there are a couple of "Standard" dialogs like the one used for letting the user configure a database connection. The dialogs enabled the user to browse for a SQL server as well as for an existing database. If the database does not exist yet, it will be created. Either way, the selected database will later be used for running the provides sql queries against. Also, the dialog lets the user choose whether to connect using windows security (i.e. his windows credentials) or SQL security for which he then has to provide a username as well as a password. Also the dialog tests the connection before it proceeds to the next dialog.
Servername, databasename, type of authentication, username and password (if necessary) are stored in public properties (with the password property being protected from being written into the MSI log). Did anyone develop something similar for WiX yet? I would also vote for a website that provides standard dialogs for such things like database connection, user creation, etc. (or is there already such a website?)
