So I dont understand - if I want managed dlls which will have access to the
installer session - I will have problems?
But if i wrote console managed application which will work with comand line
or xml configuration that is changed from installer - there are no problems?
I will use only custom action which launch exe file from installed and all
will be ok?

I was about to say the same thing. It's not all managed code custom
actions that are "evil", it's really just the installer class mechanism that
requires the shim Dll, loading a framework into msiexec etc
etc. Functionally, a managed code exe has the same capability as an
installer class (properties pass one way into the code, no access to the
install session) and if it's an exe that you're installing it can run in the
application context, with config files etc.

Also, if the CA is an EXE instead of a DLL-type CA or something, then you
can launch it with an EXE CA.
