...and if any of these dependencies turn out to be dependent on a WinSxS C++ runtime Dll, these aren't actually available until InstallFinalize when the install is committed so it's pretty much mandatory to have statically bound C++ runtimes in custom action Dlls and their C++ dependencies.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Dependent DLLs of a Custom Action Binary are not getting loaded properly When is this action scheduled? Generally it is recommended that custom actions be DLLs in the Binary table compiled to "statically" include their runtime environment.

However, i see that runtime does not load the dependent dll and as a result loading of the Custom Action fails with error 1157 (One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found). This is how the Custom Action is defined - <CustomAction Id="CreateRequiredUserGroups" FileKey="File_f7341448_0b2e_4a7a_adf0_08e93fc53ede" DllEntry="CreateGroups" Execute="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no" HideTarget="no" /> I am setting the PATH variable correctly inside the MSI but that does not help. Can someone suggest a way to get past this issue?
