Re: [WiX-users] Wix & WCF

Your messages seemed to indicate that the custom action was a black box to you and/or that you didn't have access to the source. You use ORCA to stream the foo.ca.dll out of the binary table and then you use winzip to extract the custom action assembly, the interop library and anything else th
