Windowsinstaller error

I’m using wise For Windows Installer 6.2 to create Application Server
installation. The installation uses external dll (C# dll) called
“GeneralFunctions.dll” that include general functions.
In order to use these functions from the installation I used call custom dll.
The call custom dll cannot call C# dlls therefore I wrapped the dll with C++
dll called “GeneralFunctionsInterface.dll”.
The C++ dll call the functions from C# dll.
The installation copy both dlls to system32 folder, register com
registration - the C# dll and use ‘call custom dll’ to call the C++ dll
functions.
The problem is after installation ended and a reboot performed the following
error message appears:
‘Reporting queued error: faulting application msiexec.exe, version
3.1.4000.3959, faulting module GeneralFunctionsInterface.dll, version
1.0.0.1, fault address 0x0000adec.’
What this error means? What can I do to avoid this error?

It means you've completely crashed msiexec.exe. You should give up calling
managed code in custom action Dll calls, not because it's a mess (which it
often is) but because the Windows Installer team doesn't support it.

Calling managed code in custom actions is one of those things that everyone
wants and whines about, but the fact is that what you're seeing is exactly
the kind of mess that happens, and so you're asking how to debug a system
process, which isn't exactly a Windows Installer question. You'd need a
crash dump etc.

even though there is more than one DLL do not pluralize it in its actual
spelling
