Deferred, rollback and commit custom actions can only be placed between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize. Failure to do so is the most common cause for this error.

I created an MST with 3 CAs in it.

The MSI log file was pointing to the 1st CAs as the cause of the 2762 error.

5 hours later I realised that the real problem was the last CA.

It was placed after InstallFinalize in ExecuteDeferred

TL;DR; The MSI Log file may mislead you. Look at all your CAs.
