What kind of file are you updating in your CA? You need to be very careful modifying any file Windows Installer deploys, or it will see the modification and assume it's a user file and won't remove it upon uninstall. There are existing CA's for XML files that could be used as a model.

That being said, have you tried:

      <Custom Action="UpdateUrlsAction" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom>

Let me take that back.. actually it says file not found to update... but I see the file after installation.

      <Custom Action="UpdateUrlsAction" After="InstallFiles">NOT (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom>

Or 
      <Custom Action="UpdateUrlsAction" After="InstallFinalize">NOT (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom>

Or 
?

Actually it is running and after I update, the setup is overwriting again.. I don't want setup to modify this file. Is the below line correct for what I am trying to do?

      <Custom Action="UpdateUrlsAction" After="InstallFiles">NOT (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom>

Thanks
Hari

Verbose logs will tell you what is going on.  What makes you say the CA isn't being executed?

<Binary Id="EnerpriseCustomActions" SourceFile='..\Temp\BABuild\Enerprise.CustomActions.CA.dll'/>
<CustomAction Id="UpdateUrlsAction" Return="check" Execute="deferred" BinaryKey="EnerpriseCustomActions" DllEntry="UpdateUrls"/>



    <InstallExecuteSequence>
      <Custom Action="UpdateUrlsAction" After="InstallFiles">NOT (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom>
    </InstallExecuteSequence>

The custom action is not executed. I want this to be executed after install files.. so that I can find a file and modify.

Am I doing anything wrong here?

Thanks
Hari
