Install Execute Sequence

The Install Execute Sequence view shows the actions that run during MSI installation, uninstallation, or repair and the exact order in which they run.

This view represents the InstallExecuteSequence table and includes both standard Windows Installer actions and any custom actions you create.

Fields

Field	Description
Action Type	Defines whether the action is standard or custom.
Action Name	Specifies the action name.
Condition	Sets the rules that control when the action runs. Common conditions include install, uninstall, repair, x64 OS, x86 OS, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
Sequence	Defines the execution order. Lower numbers run earlier, and higher numbers run later. Schedule custom actions after InstallInitialize and before InstallFinalize when appropriate.

tip

Check where each custom action fits in the sequence so it runs at the right time and does not interfere with standard MSI actions.
