Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
You are right; I have derived the class from
System.Configuration.Install.Installer. And I have created the class and
custom actions based on the step by step instructions from josealmeida's
blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/josealmeida/archive/2004/11/08/253831.aspx).
I also had gone through Rob Mensching's blog before creating the managed
custom action. I realise that it is very difficult to create custom
actions in C++ for this kind of requirement. I would greatly appreciate
if you could send me how to create C++ custom actions for this kind of
requirement.
Thanking in advance,
Regards,
Lingappa

I'm guessing you've derived a class from
System.Configuration.Install.Installer and are trying to run
InstallUtilLib.dll as a custom action. InstallUtilLib.dll is completely
undocumented.
Unfortunately managed code custom actions are officially unsupported in
Windows Installer, and that's why there's no support for them in WiX.
See
http://robmensching.com/blog/archive/2007/04/19/Managed-Code-CustomActio
ns-no-support-on-the-way-and-heres.aspx for details.
I realise that this leaves you with few options, since as far as I can
see the web service is the supported API for doing this. Normally for
custom actions we recommend using unmanaged C++, but web services aren't
at all easy to use from C++.
I did find a link at
http://blogs.msdn.com/josealmeida/archive/2004/11/08/253831.aspx for
using InstallUtilLib.dll, but I'm afraid the level of help we can offer
is minimal.

Hi, I need to deploy the SSRS reports on reportServer using WIX. Is
there any built in custom action that supports my requirement? I have
written managed custom action to deploy the reports on reports server. I
am getting following error: "InstallUtilLib.dll unknown Error" . I have
included both Test.dll and Test.dll.config. Here is the custom action
code. Please let me know is it the way i need to do? if yes what i am
doing wrong here. Thanks in advance. Regards, Lingappa
