I'm trying to start a different installer after the installation of the first one is done. Is this possible? What my idea was, was that I would build the installer that I want to execute at the end would be build first, and then I would include that in the first installer. The problem is that I don't know where to put the CustomAction.
The way forward here would be to use the Installshield Suite project. This will allow you to wrap multiple installers into a single setup.exe and have them install one after the other. More information on Suite installers can be found here:

There are some other options - however they are not as "clean" as the suite approach in my opinion.
The first option would be to look at using a prerequisite - This could launch the first installation as a prerequisite and then the 2nd installation being the "main" package.
The second option is to look at Chained MSI's - this will allow you to run a 2nd .msi file after the first completes. https://docs.revenera.com/installshield26helplib/helplibrary/ChainerAdding.htm Be aware that Chained MSI's can have issues if reboots are needed or during certain upgrade situations - so make sure you fully test this.
