Julie, thank's for the answer! Maybe I misunderstand something but I don't think that 3073 is the sequence number. I guess it's the Type-Number of the CustomAction and describes the Custom Action In-Script Option as shown here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368069.aspx My log (msiexec) shows clearly that the ExecXmlConfig is executed at the very end of the installation - I dont know the sequencenumber but I think it's higher than 4002. The thing is that I would like to execute my FileReplacer-dll right after the execution of XmlConfig, where my tags will be written into the xml-file. And I guess XmlConfig will be executed with the call of the ExecXmlConfig-target but I have no clue what the sequencenumber is since I cant find it anywhere.
So I'm wondering what the sequence-number of the XmlConfig-Execution is? Any ideas?

There is an XMLConfig example on my wix wiki, http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/XmlConfig_Example I rebuilt it and opened the .msi in Orca. XmlConfig is sequenced at 3073, just as it was for you. Your FileReplacer is after that, at 4002. Try searching for "return value 3" in your log file and backtrack from there.

It can be found in the CustomAction table with the type number 3073. I guess it has something to do with it!? Any ideas?
