Software Deployment

Sanjay,

You probably want to read up on the installation phases for windows installer: http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/isnews/200108/index.htm

What's probably happening is you have CA1 and CA2 running between InstallInitialise and InstallFinalise. When the installer reads the InstallExecute sequence, it will reach your CA1 action first and write it to an installation script (and not actually execute it since it's Deferred), then it will reach your CA2 afterwards and execute it (since it's Immediate). When it reaches InstallFinalise, it will then execute all your Deferred CA's (which have been written to the Installation script) in a separate process. Make sense?

So, as a solution, if your CA2 really should execute immediately (and after CA1), then schedule it straight after InstallFinalise. Otherwise leave it where it is and make it deferred too.

Thanks for your reply.

I think we cannot set the sequence one CA in Deferred and other in Immediate. Is there a way where I can run a custom action in Immediate Execution after copying of all installed files??

Please help me to run custom action in Immediate mode after copying of the files in installed location.

Thanks,
Sanjay

I'm pretty sure I already answered your question in your other thread.
The only Immediate execution after the installation of files is the part after InstallFinalize.

Thanks.
But if I put my Custom Action after InstallFinalize, based on the CA condition I have to abort the installation and in InstallFinalize I cannot Abort the installation. It is end of installation.
Is there a way where I can Rollback even after InstallFiinalize also.

Thanks,
Sanjay

Is there a way where I can Rollback even after InstallFiinalize also.

Sorry, No

Why does your CA absolutely have to be in immediate context? If the only problem is accessing properties in deferred, I linked you a thread on this site on how to make properties available to deferred custom actions.
