I just tried both techniques the one Chris mentioned is how I've always debugged my managed custom actions but it did not work with DTF for some reason. The Debugger.Launch method did pop up the visual studio launch dialog but it could not step into the code.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Debugging a DTF Managed Custom Action What I did when debugging some of my DTF code was put a call to Debugger.Launch() right at the beginning of my custom action. At that point, I could easily attach and step through the code with the debugger. ###################################### $_='^#(/||/@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@:^[-['^";@@@\\>])@.".

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Debugging a DTF Managed Custom Action There is a way using Environment variables to set a breakpoint, but I've found that to be more trouble than it's worth. You can put a call at the beginning of your CA to MessageBox.Show, and then when that pops up, you can attach to the process then. Make sure you attach to the CA managed process, not the installer process.
