I am running on 64-bit Server 2008 with UAC turned Off. My custom action references System, System.Data, System.XML, Microsoft.SharePoint, Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller, and a helper assembly that I own. The helper assembly additionally references System.DirectoryServices, and System.ServiceProcess.
When I call MakeSfxCA, I am including Microsoft.SharePoint, Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller, and my helper assembly as support files. I am also including a CustomAction.config that specifies a supportedRuntime version of v2.0.50727. I don't see anything in my event log that ties to this problem.
