Execute = deferred!!!!! That's what you need. Immediate is before files are 
installed.

Subject: [WiX-users] Triggering a Custom Action ONLY When All Files Have Been 
Deployed

Dear users,

I need to trigger a custom action (to configure some files) only when all
files have already been deployed. My code:

*<CustomAction Id="PerformPostInstallTasks" BinaryKey="CustomActionsDll"
     DllEntry="PostInstall" Execute="immediate" Return="check" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
     <Custom Action="PerformPostInstallTasks" After="InstallFiles" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>*

Somehow my custom action triggers BEFORE the files have been deployed so
naturally I get a file-not-found error when my custom action runs. It looks
like InstallFiles is run asynchronously and the custom action scheduled to
run after it get triggered before InstallFiles has completed. What am I
doing wrong?

Note that I would not like to add conditions to check if certain files exist
as I have no knowledge which files they would be. I just need to know that
ALL files have been deployed before I launch a custom config.

Thank you very much for expertise and your help,
Alexander
