RE: system.badimageformatexception returned from custom installer

Gary,

The answers to your questions are below.

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

The dll is created as a seperate project. and is manually added to the web
project in the web project's bin directory. The dll is identified as a custom
Action dll by going to the custom actions tab and then by right clicking
Install, navigating to the bin folder and then clicking Add Assembly. I do
not have any Conditions specified for the custom action and no
CustomActionData is passed. No entry point is identified and the
InstallerClass property is set to true.



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

Yes it is an installer class. I have added an eventLogInstaller. In the
overridden Install function I log the install in the application event log.

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

The dll is created as a seperate project. and is manually added to the web
project in the web project's bin directory. The dll is identified as a custom
Action dll by going to the custom actions tab and then by right clicking
Install, navigating to the bin folder and then clicking Add Assembly.

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?
