What is the difference between MSIHANDLE passed to a DLL Custom Action and MSIHANDLE fetched by MsiGetActiveDatabase.
How these two are different?

No one.. Hmm ok.
Actually I had this question because MSDN says MsiGetActiveDatabase function accepts handle provided to a DLL custom action and returns the handle to active database for the installation.
And I still dont' know the difference between two.
But one thing is sure that MsiDatabaseOpenView failed in my code when I passed the handle provided to a DLL custom action, but it worked when I passed the output of MsiGetActiveDatabase.
