My installer installs an empty database. On upgrade, I need to call a stored procedure on said database. My plan was to have a custom action that could figure out the installed state of the component (looks easy) and then run a query on the database. To connect to the database, the custom action requires the full path of the already installed database. (long story: there will be a database engine running, but I will terminate it so I can ensure that I'll be the only camper in the forrest) So now, armed with Aaron and Bob's suggestions (thank you guys), I will probably dig through the Directory table until I hit a parent directory which Id is specified using all caps, and then do a property lookup on that Id. Which is fine, but I thought surely something like this is a common thing to do so there must be a convenience function to do it. (or: what I am about to do is utterly silly and should have been solved completely differently in the first place) -- Rune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
