Does this mean I have to use only one argument by combining those two
arguments?. You also said that "Your custom action will have to read any other
information it needs from the install database using e.g. MsiGetProperty."
What is meant by that?. Can you elaborate?.
Any good examples?. Thank you very much.

A DLL custom action expects one argument only, an MSIHANDLE. The
signature should be:
UINT WINAPI MyCustomAction( MSIHANDLE hInstall );
Your custom action will have to read any other information it needs from the
install database using e.g. MsiGetProperty. If your custom action is deferred
(though this one isnt) it is very limited in what it can view mostly just to
a custom action data property named the same as the custom action. An
immediate custom action can view any part of the database and can even add new
rows at runtime (although these changes are not persisted, as far as I know).

Subject: [WiX-users] How to call a .dll from wix with arguments?
Hi
I have to call a dll which is written in C. I donot know how to call this
dll with arguments. How should I pass these two arguments into entrydll. Write
now I have code like this:
<Binary Id='WixLicense' src='wix_license_dll.dll'/>
<CustomAction Id='create_license_file_from_cdkey' BinaryKey='WixLicense'
DllEntry='create_license_file_from_cdkey' Execute='immediate' Return='check'/>
<InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='create_license_file_from_cdkey'
After='InstallFiles'/> </InstallExecuteSequence>
From main program, the dll works fine like this
rc = create_license_file_from_cdkey("62225-1127270143-1186981200", "10.0");
How should I pass the above two arguments. Any ideas or examples please?.
