Actually you can modify the MSI at runtime, at least its database. Don't know if you can modify the embedded files. Semi-custom action: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/.
-----Original Message----- From: Levi Wilson [mailto:l...@leviwilson.com] Sent: March-12-14 7:19 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Conditional SSPI / SQL Authentication on SqlScript I tried this example; yours has the @User set on the <SqlString /> rather than the <SqlDatabase />. I tried this, so I removed the @User from the SqlDatabase and added it to SqlScript instead...this looks like it ONLY uses Integrated Security (because of the absence of it on the <SqlDatabase /> and NEVER uses the SQL Authentication. This is aggravating that you cannot use something like @User="[SOME_USER_PROPERTY]" and then have it evaluate it then :(. I feel like I HAVE to be missing something. The OTHER fix I can think of is to update the "User_" field in the SqlDatabase table...but it doesn't appear that you can modify the MSI at runtime.
