I'm guessing you've derived a class from
System.Configuration.Install.Installer and are trying to run
InstallUtilLib.dll as a custom action. InstallUtilLib.dll is completely
undocumented.
Unfortunately managed code custom actions are officially unsupported in
Windows Installer, and that's why there's no support for them in WiX. See
http://robmensching.com/blog/archive/2007/04/19/Managed-Code-CustomActions-n
o-support-on-the-way-and-heres.aspx for details.
I realise that this leaves you with few options, since as far as I can see
the web service is the supported API for doing this. Normally for custom
actions we recommend using unmanaged C++, but web services aren't at all
easy to use from C++.
I did find a link at
http://blogs.msdn.com/josealmeida/archive/2004/11/08/253831.aspx for using
InstallUtilLib.dll, but I'm afraid the level of help we can offer is
minimal.

Subject: [WiX-users] InstallUtilLib.dll unknow error message
Hi, I need to deploy the SSRS reports on reportServer using WIX. Is there
any built in custom action that supports my requirement? I have written
managed custom action to deploy the reports on reports server. I am getting
following error: "InstallUtilLib.dll unknown Error" . I have included both
Test.dll and Test.dll.config. Here is the custom action code. Please let me
know is it the way i need to do? if yes what i am doing wrong here. Thanks
in advance. Regards, Lingappa
