It looks like for an uninstall action, the @ElementPath points to the

I suspect this is something that is frowned upon but that is what I

The CA is sequence 6701 (post GAC update).
The DLL is using DIFxAPI and the dependency is the difxapi.dll.
I'll attempt a work-a-round by using the standard DIFx support and adjusting
my strategy a bit. I'm installing drivers for virtual devices so I have to

I'm guessing you're expecting to see the key show up for other users
because it's a keypath, right? If so, you won't see that key when you
log on as the other user, only when you do something that causes the
install-on-demand to take place (is the keypath in a feature in which
there is a shortcut?)
Yeah, this scenario doesn't work well at all. The ideal is that your
CustomActions have as few dependencies on the system as possible. My
suggestion is always that CustomActions should only depend on stuff that ships
with lowest OS you support "out of the box".
Typically, this means sharing c

Yes I am using Wix 2.0 I will check out 3.0/Votive to see if it's any easier
there and if it doesn't break what I already have. I have little experience
with MSBuild so the whole scriptingpart made little sense to me to be
honest.

I have a CustomAction DLL that was working just fine. However, I recently
updated it and it now depends on another DLL. That DLL isn't a typical
system DLL and is not already on the system. I can't seem to figure out
WHERE to put the DLL so that it is available when the CustomAction is
invoked.
