    Custom Actions only extract a single file to a temporary location under a temporary name. For the dependency on the .dll to work, they need to both be extracted, and at least the .dll must have the expected name. Typically this is easiest to do by adding both to "setup files" and referencing [SUPPORTDIR]\your.exe for the custom action.

    Why is my custom action DLL not displaying a function name?
    The entry points of your custom action DLL may not be what you think. By default, C++ "decorates" its function names. If you don't have a module definition file specifying their raw name, or an extern "C" applied to the function, they will be decorated. Try running dumpbin /exports customactions.dll to verify their names.
