Using a custom action

I am trying to use a custom action to do a couple things for me, I am
calling an installer class in a DLL to write an encrypted date to the
registry. It works great except, after executing the installclass it says
it cannot find testapp.installstate file. Then it rolls back the
installation. I am stuck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
