I doubt anyone knows the complete set of those functions that actually get used by real-world installers.
I think your choice is either a) keep plugging along on msi automation on the theory that it's good for msi in general and might help a few as yet unknown apps, or b) put this on the back burner and go work on something known to be blocking some app you care about.

Thanks Dan.
One more question: Will the COMification of msi somehow require OLE automation, as Mike's email excerpt seems to suggest (this would be another reason then to continue implementing it)? If so, how?
It will require the OLE interfaces (Session/Installer) to be working before the custom actions can run out of process.

Thanks Misha
p.s. meanwhile, I hope to submit a few shlexec.c patches in the next couple of days/week as some of the DDE stuff does not seem to work as native and this leads to a very minor Vector NTI problem
