What version of Burn are you using? Those sound like old errors that I think were fixed in more recent builds of Burn. The security ID issue could be a problem if they mucked up the permissions of %ProgramData% or certain parts of the registry. The full line from the log file would probably help.

Sounds like either as Rob says an API call which doesn't exist on XP or a missing dependency (essentially the same thing). Open your DLL in dependency walker on XP see what it says. Once you get it registering manually, use heat to register it the proper way in your MSI. Palbinder Sandher
