Notice that the following CustomAction elements all have an After attribute set to InstallFinalize. You'll need to choose an appropriate point in the InstallExecuteSequence between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize. Then you can use the After or Before attribute to specify when to run them. I can't give more detailed advice without knowing what these custom actions do nor when it is appropriate to run them.
