The best practice is not to use C# managed custom actions at all. If you
search an archive of this list here:
http://www.nabble.com/wix-users-f4470.html, you'll see plenty of reasons why
this is stated.
This is not a limitation of WiX, but rather a requirement imposed upon all
of us by using Windows Installer. You need to write your custom actions
preferably in C++, script custom actions are also supported, but no C#
without using hacks to make it work.
