WiX requires that anything you actually reference does really exist somewhere. That's a general rule that you should focus on. I Darked many MSIs and got this type of error because many other tools don't check that something you use (such as a custom action) is actually specified somewhere.
So when you say "you didn't find this in WiX", I don't know why you would find it. You're decompiling a non-WiX-generated MSI file otherwise you wouldn't be using Dark at all. I've seen that custom action before - I believe it's from a Visual Studio web project. If you really have a web project of some kind, then you should be using WiX-based support for them, not trying to use custom actions provided internally by Visual Studio Dlls.

After it generated source setup file I tried to compile generated source(*.wxs) file which gave me following error : Error 4 Unresolved reference to symbol 'CustomAction:WEBCA_CreateURLs' in section 'Product:{964A931F-4DFA-4B0E-AEF9-0C2D616ECA0E}'. I tried looking for this custom action in my WXS but to no avail. I am wondering if any of you have encounter this problem and how you resolve it .
