Re: [WiX-users] Creating tables for Wix extensions

[Chad M. <cha...@gm...>]

It's just an xml file in my case, tables.xml, and it gets pulled into a
makefile and compiled w/ my C# code to set up the extension.  The code I
provided would be complete, <tableDefinitions> is the root tag, then below
that you can just mirror what I did to set up the columns for the table.  I
haven't looked into CustomTable, but all I can say is your case sounds very
similar to mine (a new WixExtension).

I've never used Brian's way, but I would bank on that way working as well,
and it's built into Wix so it might be simpler.
