To set SQL connection strings
1. Click the Connection tab on the SQL Script Details dialog box.
See Configuring a Microsoft SQL Server During Installation
2. Complete the dialog box:
Name
A name for the SQL script is generated and displayed here. You can accept the
default or enter a more descriptive name. If you later change this field, the
script file is not renamed.
A file with this name and the extension .SQL is added to the installation.
Connection String
Enter a connection string that connects to a specific Microsoft SQL Server and
database. The default connection string works for most locally installed SQL
Server databases.
If you use the SQL Connection dialog box in this installation, enter the Windows
Installer property WISE_SQL_CONN_STR enclosed in brackets. This property is
populated with a valid connection string when the end user completes the SQL
Connection dialog box and clicks Next.
See About the SQL Connection Dialog
If your application connects to more than one SQL Server during installation,
add a SQL Connection dialog box for each additional server, edit the additional
dialog boxes, and use a different property for each connection string.
See Editing Additional SQL Connection Dialogs
The database you specify here must be accessible through ODBC on the
destination computer. If you have a database registered in ODBC on your own
computer, you can click Browse to select it, and the connection string is
generated. For this to work, the destination computer must have access to the
same database.
3. Click OK.
