You can't schedule deferred (aka: in-script) CustomActions outside of the InstallExecuteSequence script execution phase.

At the moment I did not have original sources but I have made something like: <CustomAction Id="SaveConfig" Return="check" Execute="deferred" BinaryKey="InstallUtil" DllEntry="ManagedInstall" /> <CustomAction Id="SaveConfigSetProperty" Return="check" Property="SaveConfig" Value='/installtype=notransaction /action=install "[#MyCustomInstall.dll]" "[#ConfigFile]"' /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SaveConfigSetProperty" After="FindRelatedProducts"><![CDATA[$C_MyCustomInstall.dll>2]]></Custom> <Custom Action="SaveConfig" After="SaveConfigSetProperty"><![CDATA[$C_MyCustomInstall.dll>2]]></Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> and then got the next message: “ICE77: SaveConfig is a in-script custom action. It must be sequenced in between the InstallInitialize action and the InstallFinalize action in the InstallExecuteSequence table”. What is wrong or how to shedule CA before InstallFinalize? > --- On Fri, 1/9/09, Rob Mensching > <rob.mensch...@microsoft.com> wrote: > > > From: Rob Mensching > <rob.mensch...@microsoft.com> > > Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Save configuration data > during upgrade. > > To: "yun...@yahoo.com" > <yun...@yahoo.com> > > Date: Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:15 PM > > 1.
