Is this working, or is it just a concept? #1

I'm trying to make use of this, but, when publishing I'm being told by MSBuild that...

ILC: Method '[MyAssembly]MyAssemblyNamespace.MyCaClass.MyCaMethod(native int)' will always throw because: Failed to load assembly 'WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller'

It seems like PublishAot can't embed the required WiX DLL? Does it work for you, or was this more of a "this is how it could work if WiX Toolset was modified to support this"?

Try as I might, I cannot get it to show a log message or return anything but 1 (failure) in my MSI.

It's a proof of concept rather than a polished solution, but I was actually able to run an installer built using this. I used wix4 rather than wix3, maybe that is the issue?

Hmm, ok. I'm running WiX v4 (v4.0.2). I wonder why I can't get it going. Ok, thanks anyway.

Oh, I just looked through the log.txt you included (good thinking, I hadn't noticed that). I may be misinterpreting things, but It looks to me like it wasn't actually working for you. Around line 445 It shows that the call to CustomAction2 returned a 1, not a 0. And your log messages does not appear in the log.
