you should use a transform for this, but in general, open the msi in an editing tool (installshield/orca/InstEdit), go to the InstallExecuteSequence table, find the line for the customaction, and add a condition that is never true (my favorite is 1=2) and save
If the customaction is part of the graphical installation actions you'll find it in the InstallUISequence table instead of InstallExecuteSequence.

you should be able to. You should also check to make sure the setup.exe does not extract an MSI during install. Keep an eye on the %TEMP% and %APPDATA% folders of the user executing the install

Why complicate things? Extract the MSI and use that with the transform.

As abhishek has started a thread yesterday where he needs a solution on a msg box popping up while uninstalling the msi i think his question in this
thread is also regarding the uninstallation and not the installation.
Perhaps we should stay in one thread when it's about the "same" problem...

VBScab (as usual) has a really good idea; it looks like, however, abhiskek wants to do this without a transform. Without editing the MSI, there's not much of a way unless you can find an existing condition that results in the custom action being called, and then pass the parameter to not meet that condition.

I'll have no truck with folks who won't do things the right way. Why on God's green earth would there be a need to avoid using a transform? If it's a client directive, then the client needs educating, part of the packager's job, of course.
