You need to make sure that the path to the library is in the list of paths 
searched for libraries, and you need to make sure the library filename is the 
list of libraries to be linked.  Based on the discussion in the stackoverflow 
link, I suspect the actual file name ("msi.lib") to link is what is missing.

See http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1747/MSI-Custom-Action-DLL 

You may also need to link to other libraries such as crypt32.lib

Hey guys,

I thought I’d reach out to this group to see if anyone knew the answer to my 
problem off the top of their head:
