Ah well... thanks for the update :)

Hello everyone -
I'm trying to build a merge module that contains some Help2 documentation
that I want to integrate into VS2008. However, I'm getting the following
error from Light when I try to build the merge module:

If you're using a project created from a WiX C# or VB Custom action project
template, you need to set the "Copy Local" property to true for any referenced
assemblies to be included in the custom action package. (That affects the
inputs to MakeSfxCA.exe which is the build tool that creates the CA
You could just install the files to (for example) somewhere in the Temp folder.
Make sure the installer component guids are null so that they're not
registered or managed by MSI, and then remove them when your code (or your
custom action) doesn't need them.

Is there any good way to deploy a temporary file resource using the File
table and standard actions? I know that the scheduling gets tricky,
especially since RemoveFiles occurs before InstallFiles.
I wouldn't be one to second guess Bob, anyway. :-)
It's really more of an academic question.

In custom actions, external dependencies are recommended against. If you
have common code you need to share, consider putting that into a static
library and linking that into both CAs. It's a little extra overhead, but is
more robust and safer than streaming out binary dependencies at install
time.
Are you using P/Invoke (DllImportAttribute) for any custom actions? If the
referenced DLL is not available in the system PATH environment variable you
will see this. This is common for native debug builds, but for managed CAs
you shouldn't see this unless you're referencing an assembly that you're
Thanks Bob, bug logged.

I know that using custom actions written in C# is not a very good idea, but it
happened we are using it in our project.
I experience very exasperating problem with my dll. SOMETIMES, when I add new
custom action to my cs-file, some custom action that worked good previously
starts to return the

There's no built-in support for that; you'd need another custom action
to stream out the dependency.

Hi All,
Recently I wrote a msi package using wix to deploy a

uninstall CoreDB, if I just opened a query form for CoreDB in SQL SERVER
