Hi all, I have sequenced a custom action in my msi after CostFinalize. On most user's computers, it works well.
But on some user's computers, when the msi is double clicked directly for installing, it will prompt "A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run." I've changed CheckIfAnotherProductExists function to only call MessageBox(0,0,0,0), and it still prompted the error and the message box is not showed. If I remove the CheckIfAnotherProductExists entry in the InstallExecuteSequence table, all goes well. If I run the msi in cmd(run as administrator), it works fine, there should be not dependency problem with my custom action dll. It acts as if it has something to do with the privilege. May be it failed when the custom action's dll is being copied into the temp directory, or maybe LoadLibrary failed under non elevated privilege? Does any one has experienced something like this? The WiX code is as below, ======================================================================================= <CustomAction Execute="immediate" Id="CheckIfAnotherProductExists" BinaryKey="MyDll" DllEntry="CheckIfAnotherProductExists" /> <Custom Action="CheckIfAnotherProductExists" After="CostFinalize" ></Custom> ======================================================================================= The log is as below, ======================================================================================= Action 14:20:31: CheckIfAnotherProductExists.
