After building run "dumpbin /imports <path-to-your-dll>" and verify that every DLL listed is part of windows and not a VC runtime. If you find a non-Windows VC runtime DLL (it'll usually have an 8, 9, or 10 embedded in the filename) you need to go back to the properties of your VC project and make sure that you are linking to the "static" libs (and not the "dynamic").
Not being able to load the CA's dll due to missing required runtime DLLs is the most common cause of this reported error. -----Original Message----- From: Andy.Kruger [mailto:appr...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2010 10:34 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Hide the cancel button on progressDlg nightmare I have written a custom action DLL with the following code: UINT __stdcall HideCancelButton(MSIHANDLE hInstall) { PMSIHANDLE hRecord = MsiCreateRecord(2); if ( !hRecord) return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE; if (ERROR_SUCCESS != MsiRecordSetInteger(hRecord, 1, 2) || ERROR_SUCCESS != MsiRecordSetInteger(hRecord, 2, 0)) return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE; MsiProcessMessage(hInstall, INSTALLMESSAGE_COMMONDATA, hRecord); return ERROR_SUCCESS; } And the binary table and custom action are defined as: <Binary Id="HideCancelDll" SourceFile="C:\data\HideCancel.dll"/> <CustomAction Id="CAhidecancel" BinaryKey="HideCancelDll" Execute="immediate" DllEntry="HideCancelButton" Return="check"/> And the CA is sequenced before another CA to hide "Cancel" button while executing that. But the CA fails with the following message - in the debug log: MSI (s) (3C:2C) [11:07:30:313]: Note: 1: 1723 2: CAhidecancel 3: HideCancelButton 4: C:\Windows\Installer\MSI3C81.tmp Error 1723.

Can someone throw some light to understand why its not working?? ----- Andy Build&Deployment Schneider Electric -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Hide-the-cance l-button-on-progressDlg-nightmare-tp5220745p5220745.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
