I have multiple .CA.DLL files in my installer so I'm not sure what that problem is. As for the 16 entry points per DLL, I think I recall someone writing that they were able to alter the source to SfxCA ( EntryPoints.def and EntryPoints.h ) to get around that limitation.

I included the two CA dll's in my WiX install project as shown below: <Binary Id="CustomActions1.dll" SourceFile=".\CustomActions\CustomActions1\bin\Release\CustomActions1.CA.dll" /> <Binary Id="CustomActions2.dll" SourceFile=".\CustomActions\CustomActions2\bin\Release\CustomActions2.CA.dll" /> My problem is that it seems that the CA's in the second dll do not get recognized by MSI. For instance, CA "RestoreINSTALLDIR" below gets executed while CA "Create_imr14cmd" does not, and the install rolls back. <CustomAction Id="RestoreINSTALLDIR" BinaryKey="CustomActions1.dll" DllEntry="RestoreINSTALLDIR" Execute="immediate" Return="check" /> <CustomAction Id="Create_imr14cmd" BinaryKey="CustomActions2.dll" DllEntry="Create_imr14cmd" Execute="deferred" Return="check" /> When the second CA (Create_imr14cmd) is included in the CustomActions1.dll, it works fine. Once it is moved to the second dll, it does not get executed anymore and the install fails. Please let me know if you know how to lift the max 16 limit or if you know how to get the CA's in the second dll executed. Thank you so much for your help.
