Problem with DTF CustomAction in 3.0.5419

[Shannon Ma]

Hey Guys,

I was using WiX 3.0.4805 prior to upgrading to the RTM.  I have a few
managed custom actions that use to work fine.  After upgrading to 5419, I'm
receiving the following install errors.  My wix.ca.targets and wix.targets
files are up to date.

MSI (c) (B0:20) [09:28:53:458]: Cloaking enabled.
MSI (c) (B0:20) [09:28:53:458]: Attempting to enable all disabled privileges
before calling Install on Server
MSI (c) (B0:20) [09:28:53:458]: Connected to service for CA interface.
Action ended 9:28:53: ValidateUser. Return value 3.
DEBUG: Error 2896:  Executing action ValidateUser failed.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2896. The
arguments are: ValidateUser, ,
Action ended 9:28:53: WelcomeDlg. Return value 3.

It doesn't seem like the custom action is being called.  Has anything
changed with the way DTF custom actions are compiled or invokved in 5419?

Thanks!

There have been a few minor changes to DTF CA code between 4805 and 5419, but no breaking changes. Without more information I have no idea what this problem might be. Can you check the build log where the CA package is built? (MakeSfxCA.exe and related lines)

Hey Guys,

I am having this same problem.  I have several managed custom actions that used to work.  I then upgraded to build 5419 and my install is now broken.   I see the exact error that Shannon does.  Any word on this problem or a solution for it?  I have looked in the build log for makesfxca and there are no errors as seen below:
