I believe the latest Platform SDK defaults the sal.h in to windows.h now.
We're using the latest Platform SDK so that should just be available right away.

_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);
