I use custom action for the following operations 1) Read XML Config file and set installer properties 2) Install Device Drivers 3) Loading MOF 4) Setting Windows Service privileges 5) Installing .NET Perf Counters.
etc... WiX doesn't support these actions by default. Please let know if you have any approach for the following issue : I am using Managed Custom Action as details in http://blogs.msdn.com/josealmeida/archive/2004/11/08/253831.aspx This approach works like a charm but I didn't quite like the idea of packaging InstallUtilLib.dll file in MSI. Is there a way to use the InstallUtilLib.dll present in the client machine instead of packing it in MSI Binary table as follows <Binary Id="InstallUtil" src="$(var.FrameworkPath)\InstallUtilLib.dll" />. (I have a Lauch Condition to check for .NET Framework presence in the client machine).

The MSDN documentation leads people to believe that they need managed custom actions for all sorts of things that the standard actions and tables already cover. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/> ___________________________________________________________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?
