_T is a macro defined in tchar.h. I believe this was included in
earlier Visual Studios because my custom actions were originally written
in VS2003. It looks like __out and others are defined in sal.h.

It's an immediate CA. I tried wrapping my strings with _T() but
_T is not defined. Another VS05 difference?
Could my definitions be causing a problem? I more or less copied
them from a forum post I saw regarding a similar problem.
#define __out /* ? */
#define __in /* ? */
#define __inout /* ? */
#define __in_bcount(THING) /* ? */

That code looks the same as what I am using except that I have
_T() around my strings. Are you running your custom action immediate or
deferred?

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Logging in a custom action
Thanks for the continuing advice. I'm still not seeing
any log out put though. I've commented out the guts of my CA, so now I
have just:
extern "C" UINT __stdcall VerifyLicenseDir(MSIHANDLE
hInstall)
{
WcaInitialize(hInstall, "VerifyLicenseDir");
WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Enter VerifyLicenseDir");
return WcaFinalize(ERROR_SUCCESS);
}
MSI (c) (04:F4) [14:19:38:375]: Doing action:
VerifyLicenseDir
MSI (c) (04:F4) [14:19:38:375]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3:
ActionText
Action 14:19:38: VerifyLicenseDir.
Action start 14:19:38: VerifyLicenseDir.
MSI (c) (04:C8) [14:19:38:390]: Invoking remote custom
action. DLL: C:\... Entrypoint: VerifyLicenseDir
MSI (c) (04:C0) [14:19:38:390]: Cloaking enabled.
MSI (c) (04:C0) [14:19:38:390]: Attempting to enable all
disabled priveleges before calling Install on Server
MSI (c) (04:C0) [14:19:38:390]: Connected to service for
CA interface.
Action ended 14:19:38: VerifyLicenseDir. Return value 1.
Did I feed WcaInitialize a bad 2nd argument? I was
guessing it was just going to be used as an identifier in the log
output.
Do I need to call WcaGlobalInitialize/WcaGlobalFinalize
in some way as well?
Thanks again for your help. Google doesn't reveal much
on this subject :-(

You have to call WcaInitialize in your method before you
can call WcaLog. You also need to call WcaFinalize before you exit the
method. So your last line could look something like:
return WcaFinalize(ERROR_SUCCESS);
