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.
