The custom action is only in the execute sequence and is a type 307 (type 51 +
msidbCustomActionTypeFirstSequence). The documentation for
msidbCustomActionTypeFirstSequence is not clear what happens if this is set and
you only have the action in execute:
"Execute no more than once if present in both sequence tables. Always skips
action in execute sequence if UI sequence has run. No effect in UI sequence.
The action is not required to be present or run in the UI sequence to be
skipped in the execute sequence. Not affected by install service registration."
The second and forth sentences explain what I am seeing.
I think this is a bug in the SetProperty code - it shouldn't set
msidbCustomActionTypeFirstSequence if the action is only scheduled in execute.
I would also argue that it should be optional whether it is set at all, what if
you wanted it executed in both sequences.

No obvious changes. What's the Type of the CustomAction row? Is it
really only in the InstallExecuteSequence table?
