This is basically an exercise in debugging. Standard operating procedure is something like this:
1) Did it even load and start? Adding a messagebox call as a debug aid first thing in the code will tell you whether it loaded and started. If it doesn't get that far the issue is usually a dependency on something like the C++ runtime, assemblies in the GAC, other missing dependent Dlls/assemblies. 2) If it starts ok then it's crashing. The general answer in these cases is to always check results of API calls - code defensively assuming any one of them will fail. Most cases of crashing custom actions that I've seen fall into this category. 3) If it's a C++ custom action Dll then log its activity to the MSI log so you can run the install with a log and see what's going on.
