I know that this email thread is very old, and I know that the tool in WiX only covers immediate actions (not deferred actions) but I don't think deferred custom actions can be fully unit tested on a build machine anyway, but can the Lux tool meet the need for unit testing your CAs?

Thanks a lot, thats what I ended up doing (after looking into a lot of duck typing libs and c#4.0 dynamic stuff). Its not ideal as I have to modify my production code in order to be able to test it, but I gues it's worth the effort. If DTF would switch over to using interfaces sometimes in the future ... I wouldn't mind ;) Greets, dbenzhuser ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
