If the custom actions perform work, they stay as custom actions in the install execute sequence.  You just pass the inputs to the MSI from the BA, via MsiProperty's

Hey Thanks for the info :)
Let me check that .. if you can provide some insight about how it can be done ( I mean some useful tutorial link ) I will try it by myself.
One more thing, I have introduced 3 Cust Actions into my customized WIXUI_INSTALLDIR dialog.
So being very new to this BA stuff,  I am not sure if the can custom actions can be hooked with BA dialogs.

Thanks
Shanky
