Notice that Rob said "schedule custom action". You need a custom action that
runs immediate whose whole responsibility is to schedule your rollback and
install custom action.
Likewise, you'd need the same trio of custom actions for uninstall.
ScheduleUninstallCA (immediate)
UninstallRollbackCA (rollback)
UninstallCA (deferred)
ScheduleInstallCA (immediate)
InstallRollbackCA (rollback)
InstallCA (deferred)
The Schedule*CA custom actions have access to the entire MSI database and are
able to determine Component states. The other custom actions will need to get
their orders via CustomActionData.
Because the Schedule*CA custom actions are responsible for scheduling the other
custom actions you will only find ScheduleUninstallCA and ScheduleInstallCA in
the InstallExecuteSequence.

that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web. Learn how to
best implement a security strategy that keeps consumers' information secure
and instills the confidence they need to proceed with transactions.
