Is drvutil.dll your own DLL or are you using a third party dll? Googling the
name seems to imply that it might be from an APC SDK and in that case it's very
unlikely to follow Type 1 standard call declaration. You would have to
create a wrapper CA that invoke the APC DLL and pass the result back to an MSI
property. InstallShield has this built in as a generic `standard dll` story
but WiX does not. If it is your CA then I assume you are already exporting
your DLLfx per Type 1 specs.

is in calling the custom action or in the custom action itself.

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom action to call a method in DLL
I have a customaction as follows which invokes the "IsUPSPresent"
function
inside drvutil.dll.
Id="caIsUPSPresent"
DllEntry="IsUPSPresent" Return="check" />
As i see in the verbose MSI logs, installer seems to have accessed "DLL:
C:\Windows\Installer\MSI8342.tmp" instead of the actual dll specified,
and
the MSI end up in install failure.
Am i missing somethig here?
I have searched for the file "C:\Windows\Installer\MSI8342.tmp" but
could
find anything as such.
Here are the log snippet:
MSI (s) (B4:84) [17:39:25:363]: Doing action: caIsUPSPresent
Action start 17:39:25: caIsUPSPresent.
