Hi,
That error resides from the fact that you don't use the right options for the "updater.exe" custom action. So use "Deferred" execution option instead of "Immediate" and also use "Synchronous execution, ignore return code" as an execution properties.
Also note that you don't need to manually modify the AIP file if you have the installation files archived into CAB files. The AIP modification mentioned in the link below is used only if the installation files are not archived into CAB files.

Hi,
It is not recommended to add the Updater as a Custom Action for your package. The only reason for doing this would be to check for updates as soon as the package is installed.
If, however, you require this, the Custom Action would be scheduled on the "InstallFinalize" stage. The "Execution Properties" for this CA would be set to "Asynchronous execution, do not wait for return". You also have to specify "Not Installed" as the "Execution Condition". Also, make sure that the correct parameters are specified in the "Command Line" field.
Please see the following post to learn more about the Updater tool:
