"condition your CA with Installed " - this is incorrect as it will run on repair too. AngelD's condition is better suited. And as to where the custom action is sequenced largely depends on what the custom action actually does.....

Set a condition to the custom action (Ex. REMOVE~="ALL")

and sequence your CA after installvalidate

sorry did not read through correctly

what you want to do is

condition your CA with Installed (note this is case sensitive)
sequence after costfinalize

What condition to use for my custom action to run only during uninstall?

remove=all

How do I make a custom action only occur during uninstall?

the answer that I gave using the CA

as you can see we are all prone to human error

if your CA depends on remove=all then I guess it must be sequenced after installvalidate

Hi, use the following condition
&your_feature_name=2
if you want that it works during repairing as well then
NOT &your_feature_name=2

You can try with.... REMOVE~="ALL" OR MaintenanceMode="Remove".
They will run when being uninstalled from commandline or ARP

"What condition to use for my custom action to run only during uninstall?

remove=all"
Cygan - I realise we all make mistakes, i do too! But you should use the tilda (~) in this condition because it does a non-case-sensitive text comparison which I believe is more reliable. Also, it's highly important that the word 'remove' is in upper case ('REMOVE')

"if you want that it works during repairing as well then
NOT &your_feature_name=2" - This is incorrect, too. I think what you're essentially saying here is 'run me any time except for uninstall' (For eg, on install too!).
