You're trying to do several things that aren't supported (either well or at all). Your choices are limited. The short answer is to follow the package rules (separate x86 and x64 packages) and use XmlConfig/XmlFile and get rollback for free. Slightly longer is to remove your dependencies on the GAC for custom actions. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
