The WiX CAs follow a model where one immediate CA reads the tables and component states to determine what to do and then schedules deferred CAs to do the actual work. In this case, ConfigureUsers doesn't create the users; it schedules CreateUserRollback, CreateUser, and RemoveUser deferred CAs. Those CAs are scheduled on the fly, so they don't show up in your InstallExecuteSequence tables at build time. > I am attempting to do just what I described above - let ConfigureUsers > create the user, and then run another custom action that updates the > user's description.
