The WiX custom actions link the C runtime as a static library, that is, the runtime code is linked directly into the custom action DLL. That's the best way to avoid the dependency problem. See the C++ compiler documentation for how to do this. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EM

In his response, Friedrich asked: Well couldn't I run the custom action when I like for what good should be the After, Before etc stuff then? Yes, up to a point you can run a custom action whenever you want. I say "up to a point" because doing so after "InstallFinalize" is not usually a good idea,
