[wix-users] Custom action at the end of install

[Joel Budreau]

If you want a custom action to be run at the very end of a successful installation I would consider authoring it as a ‘commit’ action to be run at the end of the InstallExecuteSequence. That way it will only run if the installation finishes successfully, and it will also run at the end of a silent install.

These special actions can be identified by their negative sequence numbers.  Please schedule the action 'UpdateRemotingConfigFile' to come before or after a different action.
