Hello, Sorry for the late reply.
The dll is signed before the reference was created in the CA. Does it make a difference? We tried one more thing. We manually added the signed dll into GAC before running the installer, then it worked just fine. Is it a right / recommended approach? If so I can try create one more custom action to install the signed dll into GAC just before executing this particular custom action and remove the dll at the end of the installation. Please let me know.
