/// The DoAction method executes the action that corresponds to the name supplied. If the

/// can invoke a function or a dialog box. If a null action name is supplied, the installer
/// uses the upper-case value of the ACTION property as the action to perform. If no property
/// value is defined, the default action is performed, defined as "INSTALL".

/// Actions that update the system, such as the InstallFiles and WriteRegistryValues
/// actions, cannot be run by calling MsiDoAction. The exception to this rule is if DoAction
/// is called from a custom action that is scheduled in the InstallExecuteSequence table
/// between the InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize actions. Actions that do not update the
/// system, such as AppSearch or CostInitialize, can be called.

/// If the called action is a deferred, rollback, or commit custom action, then the supplied
