If this is happening on just a single machine, or maybe a set with common corporate setups, check the security access on the system and user temp folders. Also maybe the folder where the target assembly of the custom action is located. There have been some issues where the system account loses rights to some folders.
The C++ code in InstallUtiLib is extracted as a CA to a temp folder, runs and loads up a version of the framework, locates your assembly and uses reflection to locate the installer classes and methods, instantiates and calls them. It's a complex black box which doesn't lend itself to debugging, but assuming it's a security issue it might be related to access to the folders involved with those activities. --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 4:48 AM, David Allen <d.al...@qub.ac.uk> wrote: > I didn't have the InstallPrivileges="elevated" in the package section.
