Hi,
I built a setup package with customized WixUI . I'm using a custom version of
WixUI_InstallDir mode. And I added a few custom actions including:
launch app after setup (WixShellExec),
execute a command after installfinalize (http://p.sf.net/sfu/www-ibm-com

I've got a merge module that's used successfully in dozens of packages. BUT ...
in a new MSI the mergemod's custom actions are missing from the
InstallExecuteSequence although they are getting into the CustomAction table.
What might cause this?
I'm building the package under VS2008 with WiX 3.
We have a service deliverable msi where optionally have some w08/iis70 "Default

Web Site" settings we want to apply (see relevant excerpt below). We need to
allow for deployments where "Site1 Web Site" and "Site2 Web

Just to clarify one thing. The reason why I don't want to use msidb.exe is

You can identify the msi by searching each MSI for your CA in the execute

The sequenced CA should have a signature that you can easily detect (the name

This regression was reported on wix-devs last week. Sorry I didn't get the fix
in last week's build, but it is a top priority. The regression was from a fix I
did for bug 2663956 "Eror creating or opening a Load Test".
Christopher, if necessary you can use different builds of DTF and Votive, as
I have just confirmed this on another PC. Create a new WiX project,
right click on project and select "Add | New folder" and you get an
error "The operation cannot be completed".

Perhaps this would do the trick
1. Immediate run once CA* sequenced in both the UI and execute sequences before
appsearch.
(Perhaps condition the execute sequence CA to only run if UILevel < 4)
