Unfortunately the Deferred custom action does not have acces to the
installation database.
So the solution is to have several Custom actions:
1) Immediate custom action that will read the text from Error Table,
parse it (replace the specified sequence with new line characters)
and write the fixed string into some property.
2) Immediate custom action that will prepare the string from 1) for
reading in deferred custom action (CustomActionData)
3) Deferred custom action that will read (and use) the
CustomActionData property.
Hope that it will help somebody.
