okay, I think my issue is concerned only with 2 actions.
CA which sets the property : executed after LaunchConditions
CA which uses the property : executed after OnExit
basically OnExit (in InstallUISequence) I show a dialog, this dialog has
a Finish button, and the finish button publishes an event which calls the
CA.
Should I cascade the 2 CAs so that
OnExit -> show dialog -> click Finish -> event -> CA to set property (CA1)
and in InstallExecuteSequence I execute 2nd CA with After property set to
"CA1"
will that work?

No, but it depends on where all the other action are scheduled.

I knew that (S) and (C) had something to do with it :)
My custom action is at the end of the installsequence
<Custom Action="GEN_XLS_PATH" After="LaunchConditions"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Something wrong with that?
Thanks for quick replies,

Notice the (s) and the (c). It appears you changed the property on the
server side of the Windows Installer and used the Property on the client
side of the install. Where did you sequence your actions ( i.e. where did
you put the Custom elements)?

Someone please help me with the following issue?
I have this property : < Property Id ="EXCEL_PROGRAM" Value ="DUMMY.EXE"/>
And this Custom action which sets the above property
< CustomAction Id ="GEN_XLS_PATH" Return ="check" Property="EXCEL_PROGRAM"
Value="[XLSPROGPATH]Excel.exe"></ CustomAction >
There is another custom action which uses the above property
< CustomAction Id ="LaunchExcel" Property ="EXCEL_PROGRAM" ExeCommand=""
Return="asyncNoWait" />
The installation log shows the following:
…

…
Action start 19:08:22: LaunchConditions.
Action ended 19:08:22: LaunchConditions. Return value 1.

The property was changed, but still while executing LaunchExcel it is
being shown as DUMMY.EXE
Any idea what is going wrong here?
