Well even if I skip the net framework install, it will still give the error
so it must be the second one. I thought I already specified that I want the
custom action to run only on install by having it a) start on
installfinalize and b) put "Installed" in the intallexecutesequence command.
How do I get it to run the correct executable if not the way I'm doing it?
This is only my second day using wix so forgive my ignorance.
<Feature Id='data' Title='Database' Level="4">
<ComponentRef Id="Database.exe" />

ExeCommand="deferred"
Return="ignore" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom
Action="DatabaseInstall"
After="InstallFinalize">
Installed
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
