InstallShield 2010 Basic MSI Major Upgrade Error 2753

I am using InstallShield 2010 Basic MSI Project for installing a product. Now I've created a Major Upgrade item for performing a major upgrade from previous version.

In the project I have a EXE file which registers a 3rd party component, which needs to called with different cmd line arguments during Installation, Uninstallation.

I have created two custom actions for this (CA: EXE, Installed with the Product), which was working fine in the previous builds.

1) REGMYCOMP - For Installation - Deferred Execution - Sequenced before InstallFinalize (Condition: Not Installed)

2) UNREGMYCOMP - For Uninstallation - Deferred Execution - Sequenced before RemoveFiles (Condition: (REMOVE = "ALL") OR (IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE))

UNREGMYCOMP CA fails during the major upgrade (executing the MSI directly using MSIEXEC.EXE) with the following error

ERROR 2753 The File 'xxxx.exe' is not marked for installation.

The same thing happens when I try to uninstall the product from the Control Panel ARP entry.
