please use the code tags. Logs of failed installs are mostly air, in terms of useful information. Generally speaking, you need only find the text 'Return value 3.' and post the dozen or so lines above and below the line containing that text.

CUSTOMACTION1 -- This custom action is failing ..

Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Path not found Line 10, Column 5

Is CUSTOMACTION1 a vbscript that you added. because it's not working. Is there a harcoded path in there?

I'm willing to bet a fairly substantial wedge that your script is an embedded script and has at least one 'WScript' directive in it e.g. WScript.Echo or WScript.CreateObject...

When used embedded (as opposed to external), scripts use the Windows Installer engine's interpreter (let's call it, for argument's sake.) As such, it has no knowledge of Windows Scripting Host directives. You must remove these directives. You would want to avoid WScript.Echo anyway, as your package might be installed silently. As for WScript.CreateObject, just drop the 'WScript.' part.

Note that does not obviate the creation and use of WScript objects e.g. WScript.Network, as inSet objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")In these cases, the 'WScript.' prefix must remain.
