I'm trying to use a custom action in my setup and getting an error when the MSI
runs. The custom action is a DLL written in C# using the Visual Studio
template for custom actions. It's not executing correctly when I run the
setup. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
The entry point looks like:
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult CustomAction1(Session session)
{
_session = session;
_session.Log("Begin RegisterScriptCA");
bool status = RegisterSIPApplication();
if (status)
{
return ActionResult.Success;
}
else
{
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
}
The custom action is defined as:
<Fragment>
<CustomAction Id='RegisterScript' BinaryKey='RegisterScriptCA'
DllEntry='CustomAction1' Execute='immediate'
Impersonate='yes' Return='check'/>
<Binary Id='RegisterScriptCA' SourceFile='C:\Users\oscarn\Documents\Visual
Studio
2008\Projects\BusyOnBusy\BusyOnBusy\RegisterScriptCA\bin\Debug\RegisterScriptCA.dll'/>
</Fragment>
And included in the product.wxs file as:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='RegisterScript' After='InstallFiles'/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
The Wix package builds OK, but when I run the install, I get an error when it
tries to invoke the custom action:
Action 14:05:01: RegisterScript.
Action start 14:05:01: RegisterScript.
Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL
