RE: [WiX-users] SQLScript and installation rollback

Usually, this happens when your RollbackOnInstall action is not sequenced
before your Install action.

Subject: [WiX-users] SQLScript and installation rollback

 

Hi,

 

I'm using SQLScript to restore a database to a SQL Server. This is all
working fine during a normal install but am running into issues during
testing to see what happens when the install needs to be rolled back.
RESTORE DATABASE SQL cannot be done in a database transaction so any
rollback of this action is going to require execution of a DROP DATABASE
command. I have that code in place for uninstallation, but how do I trigger
that code when rolling back an installation? I added RollbackOnInstall="yes"
to the SQLScript element for the uninstallation but that didn't cause it to
execute during the rollback.

 

Any ideas?
