And you are installing the C runtime in the installer via merge module? If yes, that is the problem. In Vista the runtime will NOT be accessible to xyz.exe until *after* the installer completes installation. The only way to correct this is to either link statically, or distribute the runtime just as you would in the "copy method". Clearly, the preferred way is to use the merge module and just statically link the custom action. Pre-Vista OSes acted differently with respect to SxS DLLs hence your action worked. - Adam -- Mail Etiquette == * Quote properly or not at all.
