Error in MSDE Toolkit

Hello,
I am using the MSDE deployment Toolkit (RC) to deploy my application. I have my application, the setup project and the installer project in my solution. The installer project has embedded sql files for database creation and dropping only (which I create
d using the enterprise manager). Now when I run the setup, MSDE installs fine but during my applications setup I get the following error message:
"An exception occured in the OnAfterInstall event handler of PostInstall.CustomInstallActions. --> Value cannot be null."
I looked on web but couldnt really find anything about this error message.
Please suggest something. I wanted to post the SQL here but the message reached it's max count.
Thanks
dev
Hello dev,
Did you write the code that is running in the OnAfterInstall event? Or are
you using the sample code that comes with the Toolkit?
Can you post the code you're using? I don't need to seee the SQL at this
point.
Cheers,
Brian A. Randell
