[wix-users] Modify MSI on Linux

[Christopher Painter]

I'm sorry,  that's what I was looking at earlier.  I said it's name wrong.

I saw in the documentation that it could build an MSI from WXS but in my scenario  I just want to modify an existing MSI.   On Windows that would be something like:

(SDK example.. I'd typically use C#/DTF for this type of stuff )

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/examples-of-database-queries-using-sql-and-script

Cscript WiRunSQL.vbs Test.msi "UPDATE `Feature` SET `Feature`.`Title`='Performances' WHERE `Feature`.`Feature`='Arts'"
