The "DllCaEntry" Command

This command along with the "/DllCaEntry" command are used to define a function which is exported by the generated DLL for scheduling with the "DllCa" command.

This function must be defined between the DllCa-C and /DllCa-C commands and it looks like (notice that you must return a return code):

UINT __stdcall CustomAction(MSIHANDLE hInstall);

This command takes these parameters:

• Friendly Entry Point Name (positional)
  This is a "friendly" name for the entry point (function) being defined. Always use the "DllCaEntry?" command to refer to it.

  Note that MAKEMSI creates a stub to front end your function (which is declared "static") so that it can log entry and exit into any verbose log.
