I'm writing an installer for a website on Server 2003 running IIS 6.0, and I'm
having problems running a DLL function from a custom action. The action just
seems to fail silently (it doesn't appear to actually run the function) and I
get a return value of 3 which starts rollback of the installation. At this
point, the DLL function is empty except for a return ERROR_SUCCESS, so the
function itself shouldn't be crashing. The relevant portion of the install log
looks something like:
MSI (s) (40:54) [16:48:38:538]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=SELECT_CERT,,)
Action 16:48:38: SELECT_CERT.
MSI (s) (40:54) [16:48:38:558]: Executing op:
CustomActionSchedule(Action=SELECT_CERT,ActionType=1025,Source=BinaryData,Target=Select,)
MSI (s) (40:54) [16:48:38:588]: Creating MSIHANDLE (233) of type 790536 for
thread 1876
MSI (s) (40:94) [16:48:38:588]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:
C:\WINNT\Installer\MSI11B.tmp, Entrypoint: Select
MSI (s) (40:94) [16:48:38:819]: Closing MSIHANDLE (233) of type 790536 for
thread 1876
Action ended 16:48:38: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found. (DWMAPI.DLL
which is apparently a Windows Vista DLL)
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export

Anyone have any ideas how to fix the problem?
Thanks much!
