Setup project Custom Action fails under Vista

Hi!

I have a deployment project made with Visual Studio 2003. The setup
fails when I run it in Vista. I have figured out that it only fails
when I have an Install Custom Action.
I have read in newsgroups that i should set the noImpersonate bit in
the MSI file and that I need Orca for that. So I did.
I have found the custom action and added 3584 to the Type field of
1025, like I read in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368069.aspx
I have also tried 3072 and 3328, but i now get msi error 2869. I have
opened a CMD box with administrator rights, and tried install again,
but i get the same msi error 2869.
I have no idea what to try now. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Kind regards,
Gerben H.

I would try looking at what your custom action is attempting to do relative
to Vista's security systems before diving into editing properties in the MSI
database. Does your installation work as expected under XP?

It's working ok under XP, but just adding a custom action, where I
override the Installer class, but don't implement any of my own code,
already gives an error in Vista. Any idea?
