Not easily. You could do a post-build update of the MSI to insert the custom
action into the sequence table via MSI's SQL (the SDK provides a VBS file
that will allow you to do that).

Subject: [WiX-users] Scheduling a merge module's custom action

I'm a pretty long-standing user of InstallShield, but I wanted to see what
WiX had to offer, so I downloaded it and began creating my first install
this week using Votive in Visual Studio 2010. Unfortunately, it looks like
what I thought was going to be a very simple install has turned out to be
outside the scope of what WiX can do.

I have a merge module from a third party that we use in our software, and in
order to properly consume the merge module, I need to be able to add a
couple of its custom actions to my install's InstallExecuteSequence. Is
there any way to accomplish this in WiX without going to the merge module
provider and telling them to schedule the custom actions on their end? When
I compile, I get the following error because the custom action's name cannot
be resolved:

error LGHT0094: Unresolved reference to symbol
'CustomAction:SaveInstallSN.3E7D3842_1372_4852_A9BC_F88647DA132E' in section
'Product:*'.

Thanks,
Jared
