There have been no changes to the ManagedCA project or the MakeSfxCA tool since

Does that crash repro if you run the same MakeSfxCA.exe command-line from the

Hello Rob,
Thanks for your answer.
Using of .wixlib would require porting all our setup projects to WiX

Never done one of those, but I'd say open your msi w/ Orca and look at the
Error table for the index and supply that as the Error="#" attribute, and it
will pop your corresponding msg.

The installutil customaction fails. It works fine on Windows XP, Windows 2003.
The command works fine if I open up a command prompt using "Run as

I'd say that error is very general. Chances are you have missing
dependencies. Run your file through reflector or depends and see what you

Something's not making sense. Properties like [WindowsFolder] are stored
directly in the MSI and are resolved at install time. Were you simply using it
as a path in something like a element? What do the install logs show
when you run the MSI on the target machine?
