Link the required C++ support Dlls with static linking, that should work fine. It doesn't seem to be a UAC issue as described, just the Vista behavior of not committing the CRT etc Dlls to the SxS directories until after your custom action wants to run.

The problem is that the exe that starts the service is running as a custom action. This exe depends on MSVC DLLs. During installation, this custom action is failing. I believe that this is because the DLLs are not available till InstallFinalize and the custom action is scheduled before InstallFinalize. So is there any way by which these DLLs can be made available to the exe? will static linking of these DLLs with the exe work? How do you disable UAC from User accounts? Also, whats are the general things that we need to take care of so that the installation works fine on vista? We are taking care of the "Impersonate=no and execute=deferred " in custom actions and we are running the MSI as an administrator.
