Thanks this helps. Any additional insights on what
Execute="deferred" really means. The wix docs provide the following details
which Im not sure how to interpret and given Im using the provided
CAQuietExec I understand I have to use Execute=deferred
InstallExecuteSequence settings.
deferred
Indicates that the custom action runs in-script (possibly with elevated
privileges).
Interpreting your earlier response it sounds like the provided CAQuietExec
can also be safely used with Execute=rollback InstallExecuteSequence setting
correct?

uninstall

I have the following custom action condition in place intended to cover both
rollback and uninstall scenarios because its looking for the state of the
databases feature and database1 component to be installed and for the action of
the databases feature and database1 component to be remove in which case the
custom action should fire. Currently it appears to only fire during
uninstalls. Am I overlooking something about custom action condition settings
necessary to cover running desired uninstall steps during rollback scenarios?
Only custom actions with Execute="rollback" will be considered for rollback
execution. It's common, at least in C++ like the WiX CAs, to have the rollback
CA be the same function and smart enough to do the right things depending on
how it's being called. But it still requires a second CA with
Execute="rollback" to work.
