Humm, havent used a CA that long before, but it could be the MSI logging just truncating it.
Whack a simple file write at the end of the CA, then check - you find out pretty quick of its log truncating or a char limitation in the CA.
Be very surprised if it was the latter.

vbs is running manually , but not working when it is implented in msi. - yoganand 5 years ago
The output of most CAs is truncated by the logging function. There's an amazing class file for logging in VBS that's a snap to add to your script(s) so you can output your own log. Google for 'CLogger.vbs'

actually,truncating is not the issue . My vbs is working manually but it is not working when implemented in msi - yoganand 5 years ago
In which context is the CA running? If user, does the user have appropriate rights to perform the functions that it's executing? Do you have it only in the UI sequence? If so, it won't run at all if the MSI is executed silently.
It might be easier to post the content of the relevant tables.
