- Dragging and dropping any new custom action onto an existing action that is in an If Statement condition.
- Attempting to move an action (with Ctrl + up arrow or down arrow) past an existing action in an If Statement condition.
- Attempting to cut an action and paste it into an existing If Statement condition.

Cause
Solution
This issue is fixed in Wise Package Studio 7 SP1 and Wise Installation Studio/Express 7.0.

- Sequence the custom action using the All Custom Actions view:
- Select the All Custom Actions view in MSI Script.
- Double-click on the action that needs modified. (You can also add new actions here.)
- Select the Location tab.
- Change sequence and condition as needed.
