Help running a script before InstallFile #15

@ekr-adb

Description

@ekr-adb

I wrote a ps script to locate a very old version of our product that use the upgrade id in wrong way, and cannot be automatically removed via msi installation upgrade.
I need to run that script before any other operation, or at least before InstallFiles.
What I tried:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="PowerShellScriptsDeferred" Before="InstallFiles">NOT Installed</Custom>
<RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<powershell:Script Id="Uninstall_2.5.7" Elevated="yes">
<![CDATA[
...
my script
...
]]>
</powershell:Script>
But I get the script running after all files have been installed.
How can I do that? Is it possible?

Thank you.
Alberto
