Query, Add rows to Installshield table using c# and automation interface

[sshevade]

I have an installshield msi project. I went to Direct Editor and clicked on Add Table. I created a new table and added couple of columns to it. How can I use automation interface to add rows to that table as well as query the rows from that table in Installscript?

Hi @sshevade ,

Yes, its possible to do by creating object of "WindowsInstaller.Installer" and the open the data base by passing the installshield ism project.

Can you please post a small example?

Also, how will the windows installer different MSI tables, vs InstallShield tables vs custom tables?
