Friedrich, Adding runtime components to the installation (e.g. the merge files) will usually not help because they typically won't be installed until after your custom action has run. Since your custom action needs them, it will fail and so they never will get installed.
The most important thing (which I don't know if you are doing or not) is to make sure that all libraries are included statically. You don't want any external references at all in a custom action, because there is no guarantee that the referenced items will be there on any given machine. (Even if you limit the OS type, there is no guarantee that a future service pack may change the name or operation of the reference in question.) Regards, Richard (P.S. I know this is not what you, or anyone else using custom actions wants to hear but what you are experiencing is another example of how hard it is to "do custom actions right".) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Friedrich Dominicus Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 9:03 AM To: Stefan Pavlik Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Just a question out of frustration No as you can see Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitectu there is not hint to MFC so it's "just" the normal, c runtime libraries. And well as written I've added them via inclucion of the suitable *.msn file. The paradox thing it that I do not use anything from the standard library just windows related APIs....
