Kevin,
For questions that are not specific to the <msi> / <msm> task, you might wanna try posting the question to one of the microsoft.public newsgroups :
a.. microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi a.. microsoft.public.win2000.msi a.. microsoft.public.windows.msi
I'm pretty sure more people will be able to help you out there.
Hope this helps,
Gert

Subject: [NAntC-Dev] Sequence and service install?
Is there anyone on this list that understands the sequence table within <msi>? I am lost.
As I understand it the InstallServices action should happen at sequence 5800 so the if I ran a custom action to modify the installed service at sequence 5810 it should work. Right? Wrong! I am getting an error that the service isn't installed. Before that I was playing with something that is called "deferred". You get this type of action by adding 1024 to the type value so I am executing a DLL custom action so the type becomes 1025. This seems to run after the service is installed but the properties that I set seem to be blank. How do I specify that a custom action will run after the services are installed AND have the properties that I set be non-blank? So I can get one or the other not both.
Right now is all I have to do to make the properties go away is to make the type 1025. If I want the properties back then I specify a type of 1 but now this runs before the services are installed.
In fact I was watching the action text that is flashing by and the installation process seems to be "Generating script . . . .". If I make all of the DLL custom actions 1025 then the sequence seems to work as I would expect. I see the action text and the services get installed and my custom action even seems to be called AFTER the services are installed but the properties that I set via a custom action way earlier in the installation are now blank.
