Hey Guys,
I am having this same problem. I have several managed custom actions that used to work. I then upgraded to build 5419 and my install is now broken. I see the exact error that Shannon does. Any word on this problem or a solution for it? I have looked in the build log for makesfxca and there are no errors as seen below: Searching for custom action entry points in ManagedCustomActions.dll Loaded dependent assembly: C:\DWM Source\alta\Output\Agent\Release\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll GetNetworkSqlServers=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.DBServerListBox.GetNetworkSqlServers SetConfigProperties=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.InstallProperties.SetConfigProperties SetExecuteProperties=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.InstallProperties.SetExecuteProperties RemoveDataFolders=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.InstallProperties.RemoveDataFolders RemoveProgramFolders=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.InstallProperties.RemoveProgramFolders TestDatabaseGeneral=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.TestDatabase.TestDatabaseGeneral TestDWMDatabase=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.TestDatabase.TestDWMDatabase TestConnectionGeneral=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.TestConnection.TestConnectionGeneral TestConnectionOnNext=ManagedCustomActions!ManagedCustomActions.TestConnection.TestConnectionOnNext Searching for an embedded UI class in ManagedCustomActions.dll Modifying SfxCA.dll stub Copying file version info from C:\DWM Source\alta\Output\Agent\Release\ManagedCustomActions.dll to C:\DWM Source\alta\Output\Agent\Release\ManagedCustomActions.CA.dll Packaging files ManagedCustomActions.dll Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll MakeSfxCA finished: C:\DWM Source\alta\Output\Agent\Release\ManagedCustomActions.CA.dll Thanks, Brian Jason Ginchereau wrote: > > There have been a few minor changes to DTF CA code between 4805 and 5419, > but no breaking changes.
