Installer Class

Hey has anyone played with custom actions and the installer class?

I've followed instructions from a couple articles on MSDN on how to build a
custom install class, thought I did everything right, but I just keep
getting errors.

I have included the DLL project in in my installer project (MSI) and set the
custom action to execute on Install.

Now I have set the RunInstallerAttribute to true, set the Entrypoint to be
my installer class (actual definition) and set the customer action data to
be parameters in the format of /paramname=paramvalue

Yet I get an error 2717 and cannot find information on it. Anyone seen this
one before or have a project(link) that shows a customer installer class in
action.

Thanks,
CJ
