Yshariff's question was justified, in that you do not state what you want the Custom Action to do. So,
- Start WPS
- Click 'Help/Help Topics'
- The 3rd topic from the bottom of the topic list is 'Custom Action Reference'. Start there.
Then, digest Aaron Stebner's blog stuff http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/10/30/487015.aspx

We will use custom action also using VB script some times if the task is not working fine through MSI.
Example: If your msi should install service while installing.sometimes it doesnt install.then we try to add services using registry key.If that also doesn't works.Then We can vb script to create service by placing the VB Script in Proper sequence.

ORIGINAL: ak1984I just revisited this, having spotted a 'Rated' star for the topic.

- There are obviously some things you can't do in an MSI itself but, in general, CAs should be regarded as a last resort.
- Using the registry to set up services is probably why they're failing. That's what the ServiceInstall and ServiceControl tables are for.
