Looks like it. I had a #pragma in there similar to the one in the sample at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php#3.3 (#pragma comment(linker, "/EXPORT:[EMAIL PROTECTED]")), but I tried adding a .def file in addition to that-still nothing.
When I check the verbose log, I don't even see the installer attempting to call the custom action. Shouldn't it at least show a failure if it can't be found? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Hamflett Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 10:01 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] simple custom action DLL-not being called? Is the entry point exposed properly? Either through a definition file, or I think the other way is through a pragma.
