Not quite. It has to be a static class with a static method that takes the Session class as an argument. The blog post I mentioned explains how it all works but there is an update. Since then WiX added a C# Custom Action project type to Visual Studio under WiX. Use that to generate your project and you'll see how it all comes together. And yes, Binary, CustomAction, Sequence and so on.... as shown here: http://blog.deploymentengineering.com/2009/02/msi-tip-how-to-reuse-customaction-for.html

The DTF option looks pretty interesting, based on your blog post. If my understanding is correct, can i simply replace the RunInstaller attribute that I currently have in my assemblies with the CustomAction attribute, and then use DTF to convert it into CA's the MSI can use? Also I'm not quite clear as to how to integrate this with the MSI. Do I have to follow the regular way and add the DLL (after MakeSfxCa has been run) to the binary table and then add CA entries in the CA table to execute the custom actions? Is there an example you could add in the post?
