I have a very simple C# Custom Action that is supposed to verify credentials:

using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;

namespace BuySeasons.BsiServices.Install
{
    public class CustomActions
    {
        [CustomAction]
        public static ActionResult CheckCredentials(Session session)
        {
            session.Log(string.Format("Begin CheckCredentials - {0}/{1}", 
session["SERVICEUSER"], session["SERVICEPASSWORD"]));
            bool valid = false;
            using (PrincipalContext context = new 
PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "ASGARD"))
            {
                valid = context.ValidateCredentials(session["SERVICEUSER"], 
session["SERVICEPASSWORD"]);
            }
            if(valid)
                return ActionResult.Success;
            else
                return ActionResult.Failure;
        }
    }
}
It is included in the WiX Product as

    <Binary Id="CustomActionsDLL"
            
SourceFile="C:\Projects\....\bin\$(var.Configuration)\BrainCustomActions.CA.dll"
 />

    <CustomAction Id="CA_CheckCredentials"
                  Return="check"
                  Execute="deferred"
                  BinaryKey="CustomActionsDLL"
                  DllEntry="CheckCredentials"/>

And scheduled as:

    <InstallExecuteSequence>
      <Custom Action="CA_CheckCredentials" After="InstallInitialize" />
    </InstallExecuteSequence>

This all compiles to a .msi without error. I can see CA_CheckCredentials in 
Orca just where I want it. But it doesn't seem to be called. I look at the 
verbose log and the closest reference I see is:

Action start 14:56:05: InstallInitialize.
MSI (s) (B0:4C) [14:56:06:052]: Doing action: CA_CheckCredentials
MSI (s) (B0:4C) [14:56:06:052]: Note: 1: 2205 2:  3: ActionText

I don't see the string 'Begin CheckCredentials' as in the code above. What do 
you think I have done wrong?
