Can't help you with that I am afraid, but if you read this article you might get some ideas: http://www.codeproje...ustomaction.asp
If Delphi DLLs really do compile to native, I guess the challenge lies in the calling convention used.

I had no problem with Delphi 5 DLLs. Some hints:
- The exported functions must have the "cdecl" calling convention.
- Do not use external BPL libraries, as they may not be present on the target system.
- For headers of MSI.DLL (necessary for calling functions like MsiGetProperty) look at http://www.delphi-jedi.org/ and search for Platform SDK / Win32API
