Then including the Binary dllwrap.dll and sequencing the CA Setlimited same as in IS MSI should be half way to use the same DLL(s). Maybe porting the c++ CA to DTF C++ might be a possibility... -- One dashboard for servers

Windows installer doesn't let you capture the return value from a custom action. How did installshield do it? What type of custom action were you using in IS (I mean the type number)? They must have implemented a wrapper that would call your function and set the return value in a property. On Thu,
