[KONDURU Pavan]

As far as I know, NO.
They Should be placed between install initialize and install finalize.

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 ?
