MSI Equivalants to InstallScript

Hello,

I'm having to work with an MSI project, which I am somewhat familiar with. I have a CA that runs some VBScript which will delete a shortcut. I seem to get it working on second installs, because the Install Exec Sequence is set to After InstallFinalize. [edit: I just realized I was incorrect. I had it set to after CreateShortcut, but realized the merge module was placing them. The help states that InstallFinalize is the last transacted step, and I am testing it now.. Sorry for any confusion]

I assume this is occurring before the merge module that installs the shortcut happens, since it works on repair.

So I guess to keep it simple, what's the equivalent of OnEnd in InstallScript in CAs?

Is there a flow chart of events for the Exec Sequence posted anywhere? I'd love to know when these sequences occur in relation to begin, end, and in relation to eachother.

Thanks!

Thanks!

The link you have seems dead, but I fumbled my way to:

http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/isnews/200108/index.htm

I assume that's the info. Exactly what I needed.
