Hi-
I'm using Visual Studio Installer to create a number of installs and it has suited my needs very well until recently. I need to add an immediate custom action. VSI supports only deferred actions. I can modify my MSI file easily with Orca to add my new action, but I would like to do this as part of a build process.
Are there any utilities that can simply add rows to a table through a command line interface?
Thanks-
John

Partial answer to my own question.
I believe msidb.exe in the SDK may do what I need.
Also, the WiRunSQL.vbs script in the SDK may work as well - samples commands are on MSDN.

You can also write a VBS script, that uses the WindowsInstaller.Installer object to modify your MSI.
In the makefile, use CScript.exe to execute the VBS file.
