"Rollback Custom Actions"

--- quote ---
A rollback custom action is an action that the installer executes only during
an installation rollback, and its purpose is to reverse a custom action that
has made changes to the system.

A rollback custom action is a type of deferred execution custom action, because
its execution is deferred when it is invoked during the installation sequence.
It differs from a regular deferred custom action in that it is only executed
during a rollback. A rollback custom action must always precede the deferred
custom action it rolls back in the action sequence. A rollback custom action
should also handle the case where the deferred custom action is interrupted in
the middle of execution. For example, if the user were to press the Cancel
button while the custom action was executing.

"Installation Phases and In-Script Execution Options for Custom Actions in
Windows Installer"

--- quote ---
If the installation is cancelled by the user or aborted because of an error
during script execution, the rollback script is executed to undo any changes
that have been made to the target system. This is when the rollback custom
actions are executed.

The rollback script is processed from bottom up, i.e. most recent actions are
undone first.

When the installer has finished to process the installation script without
interruption, the rollback script and all backup files are deleted, and any
commit custom actions are executed.

If Rollback has been disabled on the target computer, no rollback script is
created, and no backup copies of replaced files are made.
--- quote ---

As I understand it, this special type of (deferred) custom action should not be
executed at all in normal use case (no error -> no execution of rollback
script).
