direct edit tables: custom action in merge module sequence

E

EP

I'm trying to execute custom actions from within a merge module (so the
referencing setup doesn't have to know about it)...

I've created a new action "MyAction"
In the CustomAction table the action shows as
"MyAction.5E7D10BD_E4F9_49B3_AB4A_E52D7429CEC3"
In the ModuleInstallExecuteSequence table I inserted two rows
1) Action: "StartServices", Sequence: "5900"
2) Action: "MyAction.5E7D10BD_E4F9_49B3_AB4A_E52D7429CEC3", BaseAction:
"StartServices" After: "1"

It never executes.

How does one make a custom action execute through the
mergeinstallexecutesequence table?

What do you see in the MSI file that you merged it into? Is it actually there in
the InstallExecuteSequence? Can't tell from your question whether this is a
problem with the merging or something (like conditions) in the resultant MSI
file.
