How to execute custom action only in install (not uninstall)

I'm sure this is fairly easy, but I've kind of had a hard time with it. I've got a custom action that executes a different installer on installation. Unfortunately, I've noticed that it also executes the installer on UNinstallation!

I've looked through the options but I cant' seem to find out how to stop this. If anybody could help me I would be incredibly grateful.

Also, how do I set a custom action to go off only during UNinstall? Any help is greatly appreciated guys!

Use Action Conditions.

To run an action during installation only, use the condition Not Installed.

To run an action during a complete uninstallation only, use the condition REMOVE="ALL" (which is available after the InstallValidate action).
