I have a custom action that calls a function in a standard DLL that is installed with the product. I'm moving the DLL to %WINDIR%\System32 and running it from there.
The CA runs correctly in XP, but on VISTA Beta2 the CA always fails with:
InstallShield DLL Custom Action
! Unknown source "mydll.dll".
The relevent portion of the log file looks like this:

At this point the rollback procedure starts.
What is different about Vista that won't allow the CA to find the dll that I installed? It's calling the correct entry point in my DLLWrap.ini file and all of the arguments are correct. But it always terminates before it executes the call..
Thanks,
