If your custom action is sequenced after InstallFinalize, then it should be immediate. The commit and deferred types can only be used between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize.

(Actually, it is sequenced before another custom action that is sequenced to run after 'InstallFinalize'.) The problem I encounter is that once the installer is complete the log indicates no error, but the installed application throws a 'class not registered' error. The registry contains no trace of the registered EXE either. If, however I execute 'PckgInstllr.exe /regserver' from a DOS prompt, then the installed app works, and the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\PckgInstllr.EXE\AppID is set to its GUID. I have tried setting the CustomAction's Execute attribute to 'deferred' as well, but I get the same result. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks.
