My TestSqlConnection custom action is called after "ExecuteAction" on my
Product.wxs. Below is a snippet of my Product.wxs.

<Feature Id="MainApplication" Title="MyApp Setup" Description="Required
Software" Level="1">
    <ComonentGroupRef Id="ApplicationComponents" />
</Feature>

<InstallUISequence>
   <Custom Action="CA_testSqlConnection" After="ExecuteAction" />
</InstallUISequence>

My Components.wxs snippet.
<Wix ...>
  <Fragment>
      <ComponentGroup Id="ApplicationComponents">
           <Component Id="CMP_ConnString" Guid=".." Directory="AppDir">
                 <File Id="FILE_App.config" Name="app.config" Vital="yes"
KeyPath="yes" Source="app.config" />
                 <util:XmlFile Id="AppConfigConnectionString"
Action="setValue" Permanent="yes" File="[#FILE_App.config]"
ElementPath="/configuration/connectionStrings/add[\[]@name='AppConfigConnectionString'[\]]"
Name="connString" Value="[SQLCONNECTION]" />
            </Component>
      </ComponentGroup>
   </Fragment>
</Wix>

Thanks
