You're awash in a sea of unsupported. InstallUtilLib is an *undocumented* helper library shipped by Visual Studio. Pretty much all you can do is file a bug against Visual Studio (which will of course suffer from exactly the same problem).
Officially managed custom actions are not supported: http://robmensching.com/blog/archive/2007/04/19/Managed-Code-CustomActions-n o-support-on-the-way-and-heres.aspx. The answer I'm afraid is to move whatever custom action is necessary into the application code, or rewrite your custom action in unmanaged C++. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Hobbs Sent: 08 January 2008 13:15 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Vista Verification Test Case 23 & Custom Actions using InstallUtilLib Hi, I am in the process of getting one of our installers ready for "Certified for Windows Vista". I have all test cases passing except test case 23. The test case uses a supplied merge module (FailInstallFromCommitCustomAction.msm) to cause a failure and rollback during the execution of the custom actions of the install, specifically during the commit phase. Following the failure the system must be returned to the state it was in prior to the installation, including removal of any files (except in the temp directories, i assume). Our install uses InstallUtilLib to execute managed custom actions during the Install phase. The custom actions update the app config file for a managed application and runs some connection tests. The custom actions execute correctly during install and uninstall and all the files associated with the custom actions are removed during uninstall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
