Managed DLLs don't have custom action entry points. The post you reference 
shows how to use InstallUtilLib.dll to call an entry point it has (it's a 
native DLL) that, in turn, creates the CLR host (via a COM-Callable Wrapper, or 
CCW), and runs your installer class. InstallUtilLib.dll can be found in your 
Framework directory (like %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727.

However, be warned that using managed custom actions is discouraged. Read

Subject: [WiX-devs] Custom actions DLLEntry point question

Hi,

How do I find the value for the DLL Entry point when I create a custom action 
using these 
details<http://blog.opennetcf.org/ncowburn/2005/01/04/UsingCustomActionsWithWiX.aspx>
 .
I get error light.exe exited with code -532459699.

Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
