Hey Gang,
Still working on this install, it is making me nuts

First, this is a translation/rebuild from an old Installshield project, and it MOSTLY works

Here is the issue - I have a DLL that needs to be run with Installutil - not big issue, except the sequence numbers that were in the installshield project had the custom actuion calling install util (custom because what dll gets installed depends on other things) after the <InstallFinalize>line - duh, that won't work

Now here is the interesting part.

If I run the InstallUtil line manually (elevated) AFTER the setup fails, it works FINE If I move it JUST before (Sequence 6603) the <InstallFinalize> (call it Sequence 6604), it fails and says that some of the precursor DLLs have not been installed!! (but obviously - they HAVE been installed, because I can manually run it right after)  I will say that one of the DLLs it is complaining about is in GAC32

Is it possible that it isn't actually installed at that point, even though every install item has a sequence number, and the installUtil call is the 2nd highest Sequence Number, right before <InstallFinalize>

I've spent weeks fighting this, and I feel like I'm chasing my tail
