Custom dll command in managed code

Question

How can I call a custom action DLL written in managed code (.net) from the installer without using an unmanaged intermediary?

Answer 1

The answer to your question depends on how you create your installer.

For Visual Studio installation projects, create an installer class in one of the deployed assemblies. This is described in the MSDN documentation, for example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d9k65z2d(VS.80).aspx

For Wix projects, you can use DTF to create managed custom actions that have full access to MSI content. Wix is ​​available at http://wix.sourceforge.net/ .

I am stuck in a problem with this problem right now. I have a project that works in the standard mcc VC, but I'm trying to take it to the C ++ / cli world. My main problem I am facing is that I cannot load the interface in a call to CoCreateInstance ().
