Do you have additional examples of executing MySql with Wix?

I'm still working on my Wix installer that includes replacing some MySql commands.

Specifically, I want the insta开发者_高级运维ller to run a script that creates a user, and then using that user, I want the installer to run a script that creates a database and creates tables. (It seems that an installer should be able to do this.)

I posted earlier about the user, and haven't been able to figure that out yet.

So skipping that for a moment, let's assume that my user exists. This user happens to not have a password. Without the installer, the command I usually do to run my script that creates the database and tables is:

mysql --user=myname < thisismyscript.sql

This works fine - so I know my script works.

Two problems I see in the Wix, and I'm hoping someone can either explain, or post additional examples (I learn best by seeing others examples).

1) seems to be the lack of a password.

In the .wxs file, I have:

<util:User Id='SQLUser' Name='[SQLUSER]' />

<Component Id='SqlComponent' Guid='7B524167-D8CF-465E-AEE8-6B70CF712A3A' KeyPath='yes'>
<sql:SqlDatabase Id='SqlDatabase' Database='adatabase' User='SQLUser' Server='[SQLSERVER]'
                    CreateOnInstall='yes' DropOnUninstall='yes' ContinueOnError='yes'>
<sql:SqlScript Id='mynewdb' BinaryKey='mynewdb' ExecuteOnInstall='yes' />
</sql:SqlDatabase>
</Component>

<Binary Id='mynewdb' SourceFile='thisismyscript.sql' />

<Property Id='SQLUSER'>myname</Property>
<Property Id='SQLSERVER'>localhost</Property>

(this is all embeded in the right places in the .wxs file and the file compiles fine... it's just when I run the .msi, my database has not been created.)

The only way I was able to leave the password property blank was to add that Admin tag. I'm not sure what to do here.

1. The second problem is that within the SQLComponent, I had to write down a database name, but of course, this database doesn't actually exist yet. Is this a problem? (I also tried creating the database manually, so that when the .msi ran it would already be there... but then nothing else happened)

I also ran msiexec with logging, and it appears that my sql script executes... there are no errors that I can see in the log.

Help? This really seems like something an installer should be able to do... and that I'm just doing something wrong...

Thanks in advance!

Neither WiX nor MSI has native support for MySQL. InstallShield has MySQL support.
