[WiX-users] Managed custom actions in Wix 3

[Andreas Ringdal]

I have attempted to use custom actions in wix3 created using Visual Studio
2005 and WIX 3

The error message appears when i execute the msi file

There is a problem with this Windows installer package.
A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your
support personnell or package vendor.

Can anyone direct me towards samples using wix3 + votive and visual studio
with managed custom actions written in C#
