CustomAction on Wix fails

So, I am creating my first Wix project, and I seem to have a problem with a custom action. I am not sure if it is included in msi, and I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Below is my wix file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
    <Product Id="*" Name="ExactaDynamicManifest" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Bastian Software Solutions" UpgradeCode="274ff2d9-e291-4706-a8db-ce80ccd91538">
      <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine"/>

      <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." />
      <MediaTemplate />

      <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="ExactaDynamicManifest" Level="1">
        <ComponentGroupRef Id="ExactaDynamicManifest"/>
      </Feature>

      <Icon Id="exacta.ico" SourceFile="icons\exacta.ico"/>
      <Property Id="ARPPRODUCTICON" Value="exacta.ico" />

    </Product>

    <Fragment>
        <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
            <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
        <Directory Id="ExactaFolder" Name ="Exacta">
                  <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="ExactaExactaDynamicManifest" />
        </Directory>
            </Directory>
        </Directory>
    </Fragment>

    <Fragment>
      <CustomAction Id="InstallService" FileKey="ExactaDynamicManifest.exe" ExeCommand="install"/>
      <InstallExecuteSequence>
        <Custom Action="InstallService" After="InstallFinalize"/>
      </InstallExecuteSequence>
    </Fragment>
</Wix>

The last snippet contains my custom action, which I hoped would be done on the command line after all the files were placed in a directory:

ExactaDynamicManifest.exe install

It should be noted that exe actually comes from the ComponentGroupRef defined above. Not sure if this is a problem or not, but I was thinking about it. Any help would be appreciated.
