Chris,
Your .msi failed before it ever got to your custom action. There is an
XMLConfig example on my wix wiki,
http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/XmlConfig_Example
I rebuilt it and opened the .msi in Orca. XmlConfig is sequenced at 3073,
just as it was for you. Your FileReplacer is after that, at 4002. Try
searching for "return value 3" in your log file and backtrack from there.

I tried the same thing as Robert did and my CustomAction didnt execute
as well - actually the installation ended with an error:
/<Binary Id="MsiTools" SourceFile="MsiTools.dll"/>
<CustomAction Id="FileReplacer" BinaryKey="MsiTools"
DllEntry="FileReplace" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no"/>
. . .
<util:XmlConfig Id="AddSomethingToXML" Action="create" ... />
. . .
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="FileReplacer" Sequence="4002">1</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
/When I log the installation I noticed that there is a trace of a
CustomAction "ExecXmlConfig" which is executed at the very end of the
installation. It can be found in the CustomAction table with the type
number 3073. I guess it has something to do with it!?
Any ideas?
Thank's Chris
