Windows Logo Guideline: If you are applying for the Windows logo, any custom actions in your installation must follow best practices guidelines for custom action creation.

However, some of the requirements cannot be verified through the validation suite. To learn more, see Guidelines for Creating Custom Actions that Meet Requirements of the Windows Logo Program.
