My guess is that a dependency for your custom action is not installed. On one of these machines, copy the custom action dll and Dependency Walker ( http://www.dependencywalker.com), launch depends.exe and drag your custom action dll into it. You will see what is missing. Most likely, if you are using a .net all, the .net framework is not installed, or if it is a native dll, you did not statically link the MSVC runtimes.
