Yes, I am using DTF. I only discovered DTF yesterday so I'm a bit green. How do you have DTF pack the DLL?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problem with Custom Action Are you using DTF? ( I certainly hope so since it's the only way to fly when writing managed CA's ) If so, you could just have DTF pack the DLL into your custom action and resolve your reference that way. Your MSI will be a little bit bigger but shouldn't really hurt anything. --- On Tue, 12/16/08, Steve Oliver <ste...@one-slip.com> wrote: > From: Steve Oliver <ste...@one-slip.com> > Subject: [WiX-users] Problem with Custom Action > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Tuesday, December 16, 2008, 1:45 PM > I am writing a couple of managed custom actions.
