Looking at the install log (msiexec /lvx install.log /i installer.msi) is a
good starting point for working things like this out, you can easily see
which actions fire when and what task(s) each action is performing, so with
that in mind an install log will show that searches (registry or directory)
are triggered during the AppSearch action, therefore...
<Property Id="PROPERTY1">
<RegistrySearch Id="RegSearchExample" ... />
</Property>
<CustomAction Id="SetProperty2" Property="PROPERTY2" Value="[PROPERTY1]"
Execute="immediate" Return="check"/>
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action="SetProperty2" After="AppSearch"/>
</InstallUISequence>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetProperty2" After="AppSearch"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
... should do the trick.
