Yes. In your case, if SQL_ADMIN_USERNAME and SQL_ADMIN_PASSWORD both evaluate to empty-string, then the sql:SqlDatabase will deploy with Windows Authentication.
I use this pattern all the time. -- 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: Levi Wilson [mailto:l...@leviwilson.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 10:33 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Conditional SSPI / SQL Authentication on SqlScript I have a component that has multiple <SqlScript /> elements. In my dialog sequence I allow the user to choose whether or not they want to use SQL or Windows Authentication for the connection. Each <SqlScript /> references my <SqlDatabase /> that currently looks like this: <util:User Id='SqlInstallerUserId' Name='[SQL_ADMIN_USERNAME]' Password='[SQL_ADMIN_PASSWORD]' /> <sql:SqlDatabase Id="CompassFrameworkDatabase" Server="[SQL_SERVER]" Database="[SQL_DATABASE]" User="SqlInstallerUserId" /> The problem is that will never work with Windows Authentication :-) I've seen some have two different components that specified different <SqlDatabase /> elements, but I would rather not do that. Is there a way to basically "clear" the "User_" record in the SqlDatabase table in the MSI to force it to use Windows Authentication depending on what the user chose in the dialog? Thanks in advance.
