Make sure that is the entry point of the DLL. An exported __stdcall function is actually decorated to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] so try setting DllEntry to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If that works, you can alias the export with the with /EXPORT:[EMAIL PROTECTED] option on the linker command line. Use: dumpbin /EXPORTS wildcaddysetup.dll
To see the decorated exported DLL entry point names.

Right now that custom action just returns ERROR_SUCCESS but every invocation fails without even loading the dll. Here is the log: Action start 10:58:35: InstallCert. MSI (s) (C4:14) [10:58:35:078]: Creating MSIHANDLE (1) of type 790542 for thread 2836 MSI (s) (C4:04) [10:58:35:078]: Invoking remote custom action.

I have verified the DLL has the appropriate export and here are the related WIX tags: <CustomAction Id='InstallCert' BinaryKey='WildcaddySetup' DllEntry='InstallApplicationCertificate' Return='check' /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='InstallCert' After='InstallFinalize' /> </InstallExecuteSequence> <Binary Id='WildcaddySetup' SourceFile='$(var.FileRoot)\applications\wildcaddy\wildcaddysetup.dll' /> Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? What does "Return value 3" mean? Is it ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND? If so, shouldn't the Binary tag setup the correct temporary path?
