1) This would be much easier to execute using Custom Tables. 2) Your ReadServiceAccount details is probably going to result in a subsequent custom action that modifies machine state somehow. By scheduling ReadServiceAccount after InstallFinalize, you aren't going to be able to do much since a deferred custom action is going to have to be scheduled before InstallFinalize. 3) Generally, the ReadServiceAccount CA is going to be scheduled much earlier--perhaps after InstallFiles; 4) For ReadServiceAccount, you have a choice of either parsing the XML or using an XMLSerializer. Either way, you will load the XML and set installer properties for further processing. 5) If the intent is to pass the properties into the IIS Extension authoring, you'll definitely need to make sure that your scheduling allows those properties to be set before CreateUser.

The xml file is actually a part of the installer. I am able to read the xml file content through custom actions(after "InstallFinalize") but the webapppool creation is happening before the custom actions. Due to that sequencing, I couldn't pass the user account details to the webapppool creation step. Please suggest me, where to place my custom action to solve the issue. Feature: <util:User Id="ServiceUser" CreateUser="no" Name="[SERVICEUSER]" Password="[SERVICEPASS]" /> <iis:WebAppPool Id="newapppool" Name="$(var.WEBSITEAPPPOOL)" ManagedPipelineMode ="Integrated" ManagedRuntimeVersion ="v4.0" Identity="other" User="ServiceUser"/> XML File: <Component Id="TestConfig" Guid="{#########}" Feature="ProductFeature" KeyPath="yes" Directory="Bin" > <File Source="..\Test.config" Vital="yes" KeyPath="no"/> </Component> Custom Actions: <Custom Action="ReadServiceAccountDetails" After="InstallFinalize" >(NOT Installed)</Custom> Expected output: Place the Test.config file in bin folder -> Read the Test.config file using custom actions -> create new webapppool by passing user details.
