The custom action is called from the MSI, right? So if it's unmanaged (not DTF) it will be an msiexec.exe process. Windows will launch or use an appropriate bitness msiexec.exe process to call the CA. The bootstrapper is a diferent process, so I don't see how there could be a connection. An immediate CA will be a different msiexec.exe process, one that's running with the installing user's credentials, so it can get complicated. Is there a problem somewhere? --------------- Phil Wilson
