Are you including a binary .wixlib that contains the custom action dll in it in 
your extension?  If not, take a look at how the WiX Extensions are built.  
That's how you can avoid having to ship anything other than the extension 
assembly itself.

Subject: [WiX-users] Deployment of Custom Actions

I have written my own CompilerExtension which calls a custom action also
written by me.

Now I have written a setup project to deploy my extension. It installs my
extension dll and my custom action dll in a given directory and my xsd in
the Visual Studio schema cache.

If I try to use my just installed extension I have the problem that light
delivers the error LGHT0103 because it cannot find the custom action dll. It
seems only to look in the project directory.

By the moment my work around is to copy the custom action dll into the
project directory in the prebuild step. But I think there must be a more
elegant way?

Thanks in advance
Markus
