Are these problems in 3.5 or 3.6? Last year I discovered a defect in DTF wherein a race condition upon completion of a DTF custom action call would cause a failure return to Windows Installer, even when the managed code custom action itself returned success. That was fixed in 3.6, but the bug remains in 3.5. The race condition is in the native wrapper code. It tends to manifest only when there is a heavy load (either CPU or disk) in the machine at the moment that the custom action is completing, and thus was very difficult to reproduce (I was fortunate enough to have exactly one box that reproduced it with any (but still uncertain) regularity, out of dozens of other boxes that would never reproduce it).
You can take the SfxCA.dll files from recent builds of 3.6 and use them with 3.5's RTM build to get that race condition fix and an unrelated memory leak fix. I don't remember the bug numbers, but I do remember the investigation and fix of the race condition. I don't know what would cause the QuietExec issue, however. -Blair ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
