Hello
I created a setup project (msi)

That works fine. But now I want to add a SQLite Database File to my setup project.

How to do that ?

Thanks Andreas

Hi Dmitry,

must I add the file to my project or to the Setup project ?

I Create the Setup Project from Contextmenu

AddinExpress -> Create Setup Project (Wix)

Hi Andreas,

Yes, you need to add the file (SQLite database file) to your setup project. Since you are using WiX, you can open the Product.wxs source file and modify its contents manually. Please have a look at the following links, they will help you to learn the WiX XML schema:
