Thanks Bob,
As you said, I added the custom action in InstallUISequence, and now it is
working :)
<Show Dialog="Installing" After="CostFinalize" />
<Custom Action="GEN_XLS_PATH" After="CostFinalize" />
<Show Dialog="Complete" OnExit="success" />
</InstallUISequence>
The log shows the following :
Action ended 21:02:02: CostFinalize. Return value 1.

Schedule the setter CA in InstallUISequence. If it's only used in the
exit dialog, it doesn't need to be scheduled in InstallExecuteSequence.
