In the OnFirstUIAfter event I am attaching the database files that were just installed, also I'm adding a database user to the system and granting access rights to that user.
My questions are: 1) Is the OnFirstUIAfter event the best place to do this? 2) If something goes horribly wrong and the user wants to abort and start all over then what's the best way to do this? ( I can’t use Abort() because about doesn’t initiate a rollback in the OnFirstUIAfter event. )
Its really more a question of after I install SQLExpress as a prerequisit where is the best place to attach a database and add a database user? Since I have to copy the application and database files to the target PC, what's the first event I can use to try to that database stuff and can I recover from it or abort the whole install if need be.
If you want to roll your own, though, you would definitely want to make sure you're running all your custom actions as deferred custom actions. Otherwise, you won't have any rollback support.
