Possible to create an Empty LockPermissions table?
Is it possible to have IS create the LockPermissions table when it is empty? I cannot figure out how to force the creation of the table.
The reason I need it empty is we dynamically add entries to the table based on user input.
If I don't put some dummy value (associated with a dummy component and associated with a real feature) in the table then the table is not created when the MSI is created.
I am sure there is something terribly wrong with this design, but it is an MSI i inherited that installs a product used internally. This used to wok with a much older version of installshield.

Perhaps search these forums for "settings.xml"; [post=361243]this post[/post], for example, mentions how to include a particular table even if it's empty...

Modifying Settings.xml looks like it will do exactly what I need!
Thanks!
