My guess (only a guess) is that you're deploying with SqlPackage since the publish.xml contains the SqlCmdVars that will serve as the defaults (subject to overrides on the SqlPackage.exe command line).
It is unusual to see much of any verbosity off of validating the connection string, so I guess that the error is in the custom action CustomActionData setup or parsing. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 2:40 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] database not installing I'm getting a weird error when I run my installer. *** Error parsing connection string: Could not find a part of the path '... WiX.publish.xml'.. The installer runs great on my dev box but hoses with that error when run on the test environment. Does anyone know how to get around this?
