Is this a per-user or per-machine installer ? Are you loading the dll dynamically ? Are you specifying the full path ? The current directory for a custom action is, I think, System32. Installing something to TEMP is a bit odd. TEMP is a per-user location and will vary depending on installation

I know about this approach but I'm interested if there is a way to install both versions on the host. Not to store it in source control. As I see 3.6 removes 3.5 traces. For me it makes more sense to have ability to have different versions of WiX installed on one host, like VS... To not
