Is this a per-user or per-machine installer ? Are you loading the dll dynamically ? Are you specifying the full path ? The current directory for a custom action is, I think, System32. Installing something to TEMP is a bit odd. TEMP is a per-user location and will vary depending on installation context and the phase of installation (in script or not). A verbose log will tell you exactly where things are being installed to. If you're using DTF C# custom actions, it can unpack dependencies for you. If you're using C++ you can extract files from the binary table in your custom action. Both approaches have been discussed on the list.
