When you've got the product the way you want it, you can export it to an xml file.

If you really want to do it by editing the product xml file, probably the best thing would be to find an existing product and see where to put xml tags for installcode and uninstallcode. It's a little complicated by the fact that you can have different sections of code for different versions, to support updating.

Thanks for your reply kh, I actually have my site in debug already. I exported the product and am taking a look at the install code, everything is there except the SQL install/create commands. The install file is done except without the SQL commands to create the tables, my concern was how to add these to the already existing install product file. I am taking a look at some other mods to see how they did it but the method varies. I was wondering if anyone knew what was the best way or the "right" way of doing it.
