Some confusion here - the original post referred to the failure of a custom action because the Dll was missing, but is this now the custom action you don't need, according to your earlier post? If the Dll is called InstallUtilLib.dll than that's the Visual Studio Dll.
I was pointing out that managed code custom actions in VS 2010 are shimmed with a VS C++ Dll, but it's not clear if you were previously using WiX or VS setup projects to build your MSI files, because otherwise the references to VS 2010 and 2012 aren't really relevant. So you've got an error during an upgrade (which includes an uninstall of the older product) and you have a custom action that can't find a Dll. If you could clarify the details it might help. --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, Apr 15, 2014 at 1:01 PM, Michael Turner <mcturner...@gmail.com> wrote: > Chris, > > Is your new version a "Major Upgrade" > (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa369786.aspx), as opposed to a > "Small Update" or "Minor Upgrade" > (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370579.aspx)?
