I'll try this, thank you for your suggestion. Just to understand your example shouldn't the InstallExecute Sequence be this way:
<InstallExecute> <Custom Action='**CA_BlockPropertyNotSet**' After="FindRelatedProducts">NOT PROPERTYTHATMUSTBESET</Custom> </InstallExecute> instead of this: <InstallExecute> <Custom Action='BlockPropertyNotSet' After="FindRelatedProducts">NOT PROPERTYTHATMUSTBESET</Custom> </InstallExecute> But I wonder is this request of mine so unusual or why is this not documented in any way (neither the wix chm nor the book of Nick Ramirez nor any google search I could think of)? Am I doing something wrong?
