Let me rephrase the question. Does anyone have an example of a custom action that they would not mind "annotating" so I could use it as an example. I need to know the syntax of the <binaries>, <sequence>, and <customaction> tasks so that I know how to specify the location of the assembly when it is being packaged up, how I specify the location of the assembly on the target machine, how I specify the namespace and class that is to be used (is a default constructor assumed?), and finally how I specify the method to be executed along with the arguments. This would be a great help to me if someone already has a custom action that works.
Thank you.

Yes and yes. The custom actions were written in C# so they require the dotnet runtime. I am testing the .msi package on my development machine so I know that dotnet is installed. -----Original Message----- From: James Geurts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 3:20 PM To: Burton, Kevin Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [NAntC-Dev] Installing .msi package from <msi> could not find DLL.
