I am trying to schedule a reboot if certain actions were done as part of my custom action. I have a CA1 that runs in a deferred mode. This CA1 sets a registry key to indicate whether a reboot is necessary following the installation. I need to have another CA2 run after my CA1. CA2 checks for the registry key and must call ScheduleReboot action.
I run CA2 on a deferred mode. I just call Session.DoAction("ScheduleReboot"). However my installation is giving an error whenever it hits this CA2.

I can't make it Immediate since I want to execute the CA after I start some services. Basically CA1 is supposed to run after StartServices action. CA1 figures whether it need to do a reboot or not and then it should schedule a reboot if required. The code is quite custom that needs to be done after I install my service. Hence I need to run it on a deferred mode after the services gets started.

I had to do the exact same thing. I created a file in the system temp dir, but same concept. Run CA2 as immediate after InstallFinalize in the InstallExecute sequence as the workaround. I wonder how the MSI engine sets this in the standard actions that are likely running in that context...
