Add this:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="your custom action's Id" Before="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
If you already have an installexecutesequence then just add the <Custom>
element anywhere inside that instead.
Make sure your existing <CustomAction> element has the Execute attribute set to
"deferred".
If you need it, add a condition inside the <Custom> element to prevent the
action running during uninstallation or repair, unless the action already
handles this.

Well, sort of, but it appears I've made a mistake - The custom action currently
is set to run after InstallFinalize, so I guess at that point, it's sealed. I
need it to run after files are installed but before InstallFinalize I think...
How could I configure it to do that?
Thanks!

If your custom action returns a failure code, the custom action is scheduled
before InstallFinalize, and you have not marked the custom action to ignore the
return codes, than that custom action will cause the entire transaction to
rollback and return the failure.
Is that what you are asking?

Hi folks,
Forgive me if this is posted on a FAQ somewhere, but after
an hour or so of googling, I was unable to find the answer. I have
implemented a custom action to launch an executable I install and check some
connectivity prior to performing additional steps. I would like to, if said
Custom Action fails, rollback the installation to that point. Can anyone help
point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
