Using C# is the problem. You have to use a native Win32 DLL for a custom
action, not managed .NET code. This is an ongoing debate because more and more
programmers are .NET-only (which is, but this is strictly my personal opinion,
a very big problem, programmers have to know several languages, including C,
C++ and Pascal and similar to call themselves programmers but I digress) and
.NET does offer a nice, cosy environment to do things in. Still, this is not an
arbitrary limitation, it has it reasons. See
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php#3.5 for a short description and a
link to Rob's blog detailing the issue.
Bye,
Gábor
