Columns

Action

Name of the standard action the installer is to execute. This is the primary key of the table.

Condition

Logical expression. If the expression evaluates to false, the action is skipped. If the expression syntax is invalid, the sequence terminates, returning iesBadActionData. For information on the syntax of conditional statements, see Conditional Statement Syntax.

Sequence

A positive value indicates the sequence position of the action. The following negative values indicate that the action is called if the installer returns the termination flag. Each termination flag (negative value) can be used with no more than one action. Multiple actions can have termination flags, but they must be different flags. Termination flags (negative values) are typically used with Dialog Boxes.

Termination flag	Value	Description
msiDoActionStatusSuccess	-1	Successful completion. Used with Exit dialog boxes.
msiDoActionStatusUserExit	-2	User terminates install. Used with UserExit dialog boxes.
msiDoActionStatusFailure	-3	Fatal exit terminates. Used with a FatalError dialog boxes.
msiDoActionStatusSuspend	-4	Install is suspended.

Zero, all other negative numbers, or a null value indicate that the action is never called.
