Thanks for your reply. I have added those DLLs as components in the msi. Custom action that is running depends on these DLLs. This custom action is a deferred custom action and is scheduled between InstallInitialize and Installfinalize. So, is there any way by which we can make these DLLs available to the exe? will static linking of there DLLs with exe work?
