I'm trying to create an immediate custom action that would allow user to "test connection" to a wcf server.
<Binary Id="CaDll" SourceFile="MyCustomActions.CA.dll" /> <CustomAction Id="TestConnection" BinaryKey="CaDll" DllEntry="TestConnection" Return="check" Execute="immediate"/> <Control Id="TestConnection" Type="PushButton" Height="17" Width="100" X="25" Y="200" Text="Test connection"> <Publish Event="DoAction" Value="TestConnection"/> </Control> If I comment out the wcf bits, the custom action runs fine, but if I include it then I end up with MSI (c) (C8:B4) [15:55:06:487]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\DOCUME~1\sda\LOCALS~1\Temp\MSIB39.tmp, Entrypoint: TestConnection MSI (c) (C8:18) [15:55:06:487]: Cloaking enabled.

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2896. The arguments are: TestConnection, , I've set up the CustomAction.config like follows: <configuration> <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true"> <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/> </startup> </configuration> and the custom action project is set to have .net 3.5 as target framework I'm using wix 3.6.1029.0 What am I missing? regards, Simon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
