Hi Steve, i'm beginning with WIX and i don't have any experience, si i hope
you could help with some doubts i have:
i have some files one is called "ConfigurationInitialize.wxi" and it contains
this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Include>
<!-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL property initialize
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<Property Id="VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL" Value="MyWeb" />
<!-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ web app name properties initialize
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<Property Id="WEB_APP_NAME" Value="MyWeb" />
<!-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ app pool identity properties initialize
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<?define LogonAccount=$(env.USERDOMAIN)\$(env.USERNAME)?>
<Property Id="WEB_APP_POOL_IDENTITY_DOMAIN" Value="$(env.USERDOMAIN)"/>
<Property Id="WEB_APP_POOL_IDENTITY_NAME" Value="$(env.USERNAME)"/>
<Property Id="WEB_APP_POOL_IDENTITY_PWD" Hidden="yes" />
<!-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Connection String
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<Property Id="CONNECTION_STRING" Value="Data Source=|SERVER|;Initial
Catalog=|Database name|;User Id=|LOGIN|;Password=|PASSWORD|;Persist Security
Info=True" />
</Include>
And i have the "Product.wxs" file that contains this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</Wix>
So i don't know if all the solution you found that is this:
<CustomAction Id="CA_SetProperty_DATABASE_USERNAME"
Property="DATABASE_USERNAME" Value="[%USERDOMAIN]\[LogonUser]"/>
<UI>
<ProgressText Action="CA_SetProperty_DATABASE_USERNAME">CA: Setting
database username...</ProgressText>
</UI>
placed in both execute and UI sequence:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='CA_SetProperty_DATABASE_USERNAME'
After='CA_SetProperty_DATABASE_NAME'></Custom>
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action='CA_SetProperty_DATABASE_USERNAME'
After='CA_SetProperty_DATABASE_NAME'></Custom>
goes in the "Product" file or also in my "ConfigurationInitialize" file, is
because i don't understand so good what are your refering to when you say
placed in both execute and UI sequence
Thanks!!
