The 128 characters are the "magic character" the CustomAcitons use to marshal strings through. You should see valid data in between the magical characters.

I've tried making the changes you suggested but I'm still not having any luck creating the database. The log is showing a bit more and I'm now getting: "MSI (s) (88:E0) [19:41:10:218]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI8E.tmp, Entrypoint: CreateDatabase CreateDatabase: Error 0x80004005: failed to create to database: 'Foobar', error: unknown error MSI (c) (40:44) [19:41:32:997]: Font created. Charset: Req=0, Ret=0, Font: Req=MS Shell Dlg, Ret=MS Shell Dlg Error 26201. Error -2147467259: failed to create SQL database: Foobar, error detail: unknown error. MSI (s) (88!D0) [19:42:45:943]: Product: Foobar 1.0 -- Error 26201. Error -2147467259: failed to create SQL database: Foobar, error detail: unknown error." The only thing I can see that may be amiss is that there are strange characters in the custom action declaration: "MSI (s) (78:DC) [20:10:40:891]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=CreateDatabase,ActionType=1025,Source=BinaryData,Target=CreateDatabase,CustomActionData=SqlDatabase€local€SQLEXPRESS€Foobar€3€1€€€0€0)" Can anyone help me?
