I have a problem creating database with SqlFileSpec and SqlLogFileSpec Filename attribute set under c:\Program Files directory. I also checked that the folder (C:\Program Files\TestProject) already created. Does anyone know how to solve this?
This is the error:
Error 26201. Error -2147217900: failed to create SQL database: MyDatabase, error detail: CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors..
<sql:SqlFileSpec Id="Mdf" Name="MyDatabase_Mdf" Filename="['INSTALLLOCATION']\MyDatabase.mdf" Size="3072KB" MaxSize="UNLIMITED" GrowthSize="1024KB"/>
<sql:SqlLogFileSpec Id="Ldf" Name="MyDatabase_log" Filename="['INSTALLLOCATION']\MyDatabase_log.ldf" Size="2048KB" MaxSize="2048GB" GrowthSize="10%"/>
...
<Property Id='INSTALLLOCATION'>C:\Program Files\TestProject</Property>
Thanks in advance.
The quotes around INSTALLLOCATION should be removed - use just [INSTALLLOCATION]. And make sure the mentioned files (mdf/ldf) are there by the time the action runs. Don't forget that the verbose log is your friend here.

CreateDatabase.sql file will contain the script to execute some script, create database, etc.
I've managed to fix my issue by using ".\SQLExpress2012" instead of "[MachineName]\SQLExpress2012" or "[ipAddress]\SQLExpress2012". I can only speculate that by doing the former, you might not be using TCP/IP method of connecting and using named pipes instead.
Also you might want to check your SQL Server Configuration and verify that your server instance support these connection methods.

Currently struggling with an installer that should have different behaviour depending on a registry value.
If the registry value is not set then the installer should show the classic dialog to select the installation path and then store that path in the registry so that next time the .msi file, or an updated version thereof, is processed, it "knows" exactly where the repair should be made or the update deployed.
I have these snippets in my product.wxs:
<!-- Registry key location -->
<Property Id="MBREGISTRYKEY" Value="SOFTWARE\MyCompany\MyApp" Secure="yes"/>
<Property Id="PREVIOUS_PATH" Secure="yes">
<RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="[MBREGISTRYKEY]" Name="Path" Type="directory" Id="PreviousPath"/>
</Property>
and

<WixVariable Id="WixUIDialogBmp" Value="$(var.SolutionDir)Assets\Visuals\wix-background.bmp"/>
<UI>
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir"/>
<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="InstallDirDlg" Order="2">1</Publish>

I have found plenty of examples here on SO and elsewhere that allow the installer to display different dialogs depending on conditions such as a registry value or an environment variable. What I have found nowhere is an example of what I'm trying to achieve, which is skipping the UI altogether, not just one or two of the dialogs in the UI, if my registry value is set. This is a requirement because deployment of updates must be unattended.
I am new to Wix Installer. I have a requirement where I have to provide credentials for SQL Server login and run a script from a specific path.
I am not getting what's going wrong.The project is build successfully and .msi is created. After running it I get the following Error:
Error 26204. Error -2147217900: failed to execute SQL string, error detail: Incorrect syntax near '»'., SQL key: CreateUpsizingDatabase SQL string: print convert(varchar(25),GetDate(),121) + ' Executing file: SqlTest.sql'

It looks like you have a UTF8 BOM () in there. Try saving the file as "Unicode (UTF8 Without signature)" using the advanced save options in visual studio.
I got the same error, UTF8 with or without signature both failed.
I think the chars in our script string cause the problem (in my case, I included some chinese chars).
I tried to re-generated sql script from sql server, and save this file in ANSI format. It works!
And i did some query, the chinese chars are correct in sql server.
an article you might want to refer: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Error-executing-sql-scripts-with-WIX-td1488703.html
I have a set of DB scripts that I need to run during install. I have a UI screen that the user can select the server, provide credentials, and then select the target database. What I need to do is install the bulk of the scripts to the target database the user selected but some scripts need to go to the Master DB. I've tried searching the net for answers but I haven't really found anything that tells me how to do that. If someone has an article or suggestion on how this is accomplished, I would appreciate a little help.
Thanks
You can declare two SqlDatabase nodes, one for each database where the scripts have to be run:
<Binary Id="SqlScriptBinary1" SourceFile="script1.sql" />
<Binary Id="SqlScriptBinary2" SourceFile="script2.sql" />
<Component Id='SqlComponent.Sql1' Guid='YOUR-GUID-HERE' KeyPath='yes'>
<sql:SqlDatabase Id='Database1' Database='[DATABASE_NAME1]' Server='[DATABASE_SERVER]'
CreateOnInstall='no'
DropOnInstall='no' DropOnReinstall='no' DropOnUninstall='no'
ContinueOnError='no'>
<sql:SqlScript Id='SqlScript1' BinaryKey='SqlScriptBinary1' ExecuteOnInstall='yes' />
</sql:SqlDatabase>
</Component>
<Component Id='SqlComponent.Sql2' Guid='YOUR-GUID-HERE' KeyPath='yes'>
<sql:SqlDatabase Id='Database2' Database='[DATABASE_NAME2]' Server='[DATABASE_SERVER]' CreateOnInstall='no'
DropOnUninstall='no' DropOnInstall='no' DropOnReinstall='no' ContinueOnError='no'>
<sql:SqlScript Id='SqlScript2' BinaryKey='SqlScriptBinary2' ExecuteOnInstall='yes' />
</sql:SqlDatabase>
</Component>
Do a quick search and you'll find articles that may help you, such as this one for example.
The properties [DATABASE_NAME] and [SERVER_NAME] are defined by the user at installation and it seems like unless they are hard coded then doing this fails:
<Component Id="Component.Sql.Database" Guid="*">
<sql:SqlDatabase
Id="Sql.Database"
Database="[DATABASE_NAME]"
Server="[SERVER_NAME]"
CreateOnInstall="yes"
DropOnUninstall="yes"
ContinueOnError="no"
ConfirmOverwrite="yes" />
</Component>
The bit that is supposed to drop the db is DropOnUninstall="yes"
I've found a post on the WiX user group suggesting the following approach to dropping the database on uninstall:
<Component Id="Component.Sql.DropDatabase" Guid="146CD264-1F6D-4E19-BFCC-E544F5BD2D6C">
<sql:SqlString
Id="Sql.DropDatabase"
SqlDb="Sql.Master"
Sequence="1000"
ExecuteOnInstall="no"
ExecuteOnUninstall="yes"
ExecuteOnReinstall="no"
ContinueOnError="no"
SQL="DROP DATABASE [\[][DATABASE_NAME]\[]]"/>
</Component>
<Fragment>
<sql:SqlDatabase Id="Sql.Master" Database="master" Server="[SERVER_NAME]" />
</Fragment>
The idea being that at uninstall the DROP DATABASE ... command is executed on the master database on the server. However this SQL statement never gets executed on the server.
The MSIEXEC log doesn't seem to give any information and I get no errors.
Has anyone successfully achieved this (before I write a custom action to do this)?
I've tried copying the database name and server to the registry to cache them, but this hasn't helped.

This will definitely work.....
I need to create a simple database named MyDB by using Wix by using SqlString. Below is my code snippet. For the line (SQL="CREATE DATABASE MyDB"), may i know is this correct and will it create 'MyDB' database? I've set the User and Server attribute correctly. However, this allows installation but it does not create the database. Can anyone point out what is wrong or missing?
<sql:SqlDatabase Id='SqlDatabase' Database='master' User='SQLUser' Server='[SQLSERVER]'
CreateOnInstall='no' DropOnUninstall='no' ContinueOnError='yes'>
<sql:SqlString Id="InitialCreateDB" ExecuteOnInstall="no" ContinueOnError="yes"
SQL="CREATE DATABASE MyDB"/>
</sql:SqlDatabase>
Thanks in advance.
Why don't you have a script file containing SQL code to create the database.

Set the CreateOnInstall value to "yes". This will than create an instance of the database.
