RE: system.badimageformatexception returned from custom installer

Hi Leslie,

When I run the installer I receive the system.badimageformatexception
which references the dll that contains the custom installer code.

Would you please provide more detailed information about your custom
installer?

1. How do you invoke that dll from the customer action?

2. What about that dll, is it a .NET installer class?

3. How do you create that DLL and reference it in your setup project?

These information will help us isolate your issue, so I appreciate your
time in performing them. Let me know the results at your earliest
convenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. I
am standing by to help you.

Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
