[wix-users] Custom Action with Deferred Execution and No Impersonate in UISequence

[Kubilay Özışık]

Is it not possible to run a Custom Action deferred execution before the
 ExecuteAction phase? or which phases can I run these batches?

I'm OK with the batches for now. Later on, there will be changes but now I
need to run those actions from UI Sequence. Do you know how ?
