Jason, Thanks a ton! I'll dig into this again and see if I can make it work (fingers crossed).

Note if you're referencing $(IntermediateOutputPath) like in my example below, you need to define the CustomActionContents property at the BOTTOM of your project file, because $(IntermediateOutputPath) isn't created until Microsoft.Common.targets is included. At runtime the entire CA package is always extracted. At build time you should be able to see the PDB getting included in the CA package in the MSBuild output/log, it looks like this: Modifying SfxCA.dll stub Copying file version info from C:\temp\CATest\CustomAction1\obj\x86\Debug\Microsoft.Deployment.Samples.Mana gedCA.dll to C:\temp\CATest\CustomAction1\obj\x86\Debug\Microsoft.Deployment.Samples.Mana gedCA.CA.dll Packaging files Microsoft.Deployment.Samples.ManagedCA.dll Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll CustomAction.config Microsoft.Deployment.Samples.ManagedCA.pdb MakeSfxCA finished: C:\temp\CATest\CustomAction1\obj\x86\Debug\Microsoft.Deployment.Samples.Mana gedCA.CA.dll ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
