Add custom action (DLL) problem

Hello.

I added a custom action (DLL file) and wrote it's public function name.

But when installing, an error message told me that:

"A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor"

I want an example for that scenario, thanks.

That means that you made some mistake when adding the Custom Action. Please remove it and readd it again, checking the file name and path and the function name.

What do you mean by "a dll functon name written in vb"? Your custom action function can be either in a DLL or in a Visual Basic script. Not both.
