There is a page on my wix wiki with the DEFAULT InstallExecuteSequence
values:
http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/WiX_InstallExecuteSequence
The better way to see the sequence is to open your .msi file using Orca.
I believe that the properties are all set upfront, but if you need to set
the value of a property to be passed to a custom action, schedule a Type 51
custom action (set property value) right before it:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CA_SET_PROPERTY" After="InstallFiles">1</Custom>
<Custom Action="CA_DO_SOMETHING" After="CA_SET_PROPERTY">1</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Windows Installer custom action types at MSDN:

Thanks Daryn, that completely fixed my problem, cheers for the clear
explanation aswell!
Im always stumbling around exactly when I want to execute my custom actions.
Is there a diagram somewhere listing all the install sequence execute events
(InstallInitialize, InstallFinalize, etc etc) - in their executed order,
explaining what they're doing?
Also, if my CA uses Properties, at what point are the properties evaluated
and assigned? For example, if I have a deferred CA, which gets passed the
installation folder, its possible the CA gets queued before the property has
been assigned (I've seen this before trying to use the Quiet Execute
Action)...
Thanks
Regards, Adam Langley
