How to create an empty user table in Wix?

How do I get Wix to enable CustomTable without strings in the final MSI? If I just define a table like this

<CustomTable Id="MyTable">
  <Column Id="Id" Type="string" Category="Identifier" PrimaryKey="yes"/>
  <Column Id="Root" Type="string"/>
  <Column Id="Key" Type="string"/>
  <Column Id="Name" Type="string"/>
</CustomTable>

Wix excludes it from the final output.

My DTF CustomAction expects it to be there so that it can add rows to it at runtime.

Any ideas?

Thanks to the comment on this blog post (which, by the way, has a very useful DTF Custom Action example), I found the Wix EnsureTable element , which ensures that the table will be displayed even if it is empty.

, , :

<CustomTable Id="MyTable">
  <Column Id="Id" Type="string" Category="Identifier" PrimaryKey="yes"/>
  <Column Id="Root" Type="string"/>
  <Column Id="Key" Type="string"/>
  <Column Id="Name" Type="string"/>
</CustomTable>

<EnsureTable Id="MyTable"/>
