Well, this is my install-sequence:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<AppSearch Suppress="yes"/>
<Custom Action="do_install" Before="do_deploy"/>
<Custom Action="do_deploy" After="InstallFiles">NOT Installed AND NOT
REMOVE</Custom>
<Custom Action="do_update" After="InstallFiles">Installed AND NOT
REMOVE</Custom>
<Custom Action="do_delete" After="InstallFiles">Installed AND
REMOVE</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Hmm, if it's actually that hard to do, I'll probably stick with installing my
files to some "dummy"-location - even though it will never be used except while
registration ...
