Windows Installer natively only supports DLL custom actions that export functions with a specific parameter set. In InstallShield such DLLs are called "Windows Installer DLLs".
For DLLs that use a different parameter set, InstallShield has added a translation layer. Such DLLs are called "Standfard DLLs" as you can call almost any DLL function with this mechanism. The disadvantage is the added layer.
