I'm hoping that the extra spaces in the TestDeferred custom action declaration's Id attribute are an artifact of either your or my email client and not what you have in code.

Subject: [WiX-users] cannot make powershell custom action work on 64-bit windows 2008 R2 Hi, I have a custom action where CAQuietExec calls a powershell command. <CustomAction Id="Test" Property="TestDeferred" Value='"c:\windows\syswow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoLogo -NoProfile -NonInteractive get-help"' Execute='immediate' Return='check'/> <CustomAction Id=" TestDeferred " BinaryKey='WixCA' DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no" /> For testing purpose, I just hardcoded the powershell.exe path. I also tried C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe but it gives the same error: MSI (s) (30:6C) [12:12:08:458]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIB570.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070002: Command failed to execute. CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070002: CAQuietExec Failed CustomAction InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) My system is windows 2008 R2 64bit, Wix is 3.5.0529.0 and windows installer is 4.5. According to Rob (http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg16838.html), this problem should have been fixed. Am I doing anything wrong?
