>>> Even if you could get it working on your development machine, there is no guarantee that the end users machine would have this. (If your using burn, then if CE is in the chain before this MSI, it should be...) Users and other installers can do some crazy things, so you need to be sure that the CA is only ran on install, or that it can respond to CE missing.
>>>
>>> That being said, I've only ever used the native CE components. You need to remember your CA DLL does not get installed (it's extracted to temp and ran from a random file name). As such, if you have dependencies on CE and CE isn't in the GAC or registered on the system (COM), then you would need to include a copy of CE in the MSI to be extracted to the temp folder prior to running your CA.
