Stop a custom action running on uninstall error 1721?
I have a project that has custom action that installs the flash activex licensed install from adobe which is an exe file as a custom action by extracting the file to TEMP and then running silently with a command line (the merge module does not meet our purposes).
My problem is that when uninstalling I get error 1721 there is a problem with this windows installer package.
How can I stop this custom action from running at uninstall? I do not want to rollback this function.
Can anyone help steer me on the right track. Thanks.

You need to add a condition to your custom action
NOT REMOVE="ALL" - prevents the ca from running on uninstall.
You could also use a component as a condition.
$Component>2 - only runs the ca when Component is being installed.
Hope that helps.
