Re: [WiX-users] Immediate Custom Action could not be run in some computers.
Now the problem is why Windows Installer could not extract the custom action dll to the temp directory with limited user rights. I will try to find out the reason, thanks again for your help.

Re: [WiX-users] Immediate Custom Action could not be run in some computers.
Thanks for replying. I'm sure that there is no dependency problems. If I run the msi installer with elevated privilege on that user's computer, the install will finish successfully. It turns out Windows Installer failed to extract the custom action dll to temp directory during the InstallUISequence. When the error message box is shown, there is no MSI209E.tmp under the temp directory. But I tried using GetTempFileName on that user's computer, it succeeded and a temp file is created.

Re: [WiX-users] Immediate Custom Action could not be run in some computers.
By default immediate custom actions run with limited user rights (even if the user is admin) because the UI sequence isn't elevated by default. So it might be a security issue on UAC systems. --- Phil Wilson On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 1:50 AM, Uni Gauldoth unigauld...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for replying.

[WiX-users] Immediate Custom Action could not be run in some computers.
Hi all, I have sequenced a custom action in my msi after CostFinalize. On most user's computers, it works well. But on some user's computers, when the msi is double clicked directly for installing, it will prompt A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. I've changed CheckIfAnotherProductExists function to only call MessageBox(0,0,0,0), and it still prompted the error and the message box is not showed. If I remove the CheckIfAnotherProductExists entry in the InstallExecuteSequence table, all goes well. If I run the msi in cmd(run as administrator), it works fine, there should be not dependency problem with my custom action dll. It acts as if it has something to do with the privilege. May be it failed when the custom action's dll is being copied into the temp directory, or maybe LoadLibrary failed under non elevated privilege? Does any one has experienced something like this?
