  • Article

ICE75 verifies that all Custom Action Type 17 (DLL), Custom Action Type 18 (EXE), Custom Action type 21 (JScript), and Custom Action Type 22 (VBScript) custom actions are sequenced after the CostFinalize action. These types of custom action use an installed file as their source. ICE75 checks the InstallUISequence Table, InstallExecuteSequence Table, AdminUISequence Table, and AdminExecuteSequence Table. Note that the CostFinalize action is required in these sequence tables.

Result

ICE75 posts an error if it finds a custom action using an installed file as a source file that is not sequenced after the CostFinalize action.

Example

ICE75 reports the following errors for the example shown:

CostFinalize is missing from 'AdminUISequence'. CA_FileExe is a custom
 action whose source is an installed file. It must be sequenced after 
the CostFinalize action.
 
CA_FileDLL is a custom action whose source is an installed file.  It 
must be sequenced after the CostFinalize action in the 
AdminExecuteSequence table

CustomAction Table (partial)

Action Type Source
CA_FileExe 18 FileExe
CA_FileDLL 17 FileDLL

 

AdminUISequence Table (partial)

Action Sequence
CA_FileExe 1100

 

AdminExecuteSequence Table (partial)

Action Sequence
CA_FileDLL 800
CostFinalize 1000

 

To fix the errors, sequence the custom actions after the CostFinalize action.
