I have a custom action that works fine on Vista and Windows 7. The install fails when it tries to invoke it on XP. The custom action code is not being entered at all, I don't think. The first line of code is a log msg, which isn't showing up.
The CA is in the Exec Install sequence, and is Immediate Execution.
Here's a snippet of the install log: Action ended 14:38:44: MigrateFeatureStates. Return value 0. MSI (s) (40:D0) [14:38:44:290]: Doing action: MyAction Action 14:38:44: MyAction.

My log from Win 7 shows the same lines till: Action start 14:59:52: MyAction. MSI (s) (FC:3C) [14:59:52:278]: Invoking remote custom action.
