Are the assemblies in question in the GAC? If so, then there is an ordering
issue that I can't remember the details for off the top of my head. I'll
see if I can do some research on that to get you something more concrete
but I probably won't be able to get to it until much later in the day
(possibly not until tonight). That might be the reason that InstallShield
scheduled the installutil custom action after InstallFinalize.
An alternative, would be to figure out what the DLL is doing and perform
those actions directly in the MSI rather than calling the DLL. I'm assuming
the installutil is probably just registering COM which you should be able
to author directly in the MSI... Generally, speaking black boxes like
installutil are not best practice when it comes to setup.
