I got stuck up with the following problem during quick patch installation. I have spent a couple of days to find the solution for the issue but unable to get it solved.
I have created a quick patch installation package to update one of the existing features and setup a log file in the windows registry to log the errors during the installation.
During installation, the wizard was interrupted and reported with the Error code: 1603
On tracing the errors in the event log, it was observed that all the custom actions which were defined for full installation are getting executed in the sequence and thus making the installation failure.
The following is the error generated:

Is there something that I should perform during the creation of quick patch installation package to supress the execution of custom actions.
Kindly let me know the points to be considered during the creation of quick patch installation package.
I appreciate you for the help.
