Hello Sameer. The error you are getting is because a "commit" custom action is to be run inside the installation script. And you give a contradictory command by telling
After='InstallFinalize' Try changing that to Before='InstallFinalize' and you should get back in your feet with the linker. However, do not overlook Pally's advice! try out the documented approach.
