run .msi file compiled from wxs without any installation whatsoever

Question

How the wxs code below should be modified to make WiX 3.11 run custom actions only? (without any installation whatsoever)

`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
    <Product Id="*" Name="RunNotepad" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="YourManufacturer" UpgradeCode="{E7A6D8C2-9F05-4A0F-B7C2-91A3B9D35F25}">
        <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes"/>
        <Media Id="1" Cabinet="media1.cab" EmbedCab="yes"/>
        <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
            <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
                <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="RunNotepad"/>
            </Directory>
        </Directory>
        <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="RunNotepad" Level="1">
            <ComponentGroupRef Id="ProductComponents"/>
        </Feature>
    </Product>
    <Fragment>
        <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLFOLDER"/>
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment>
        <ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">
            <Component Id="RunNotepadComponent" Guid="{E7A6D8C2-9F05-4A0F-B7C2-91A3B9D35F25}">
                <File Source="tinytask.exe"/>
            </Component>
        </ComponentGroup>
        <InstallExecuteSequence>
            <Custom Action="RunNotepad" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom>
        </InstallExecuteSequence>
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment>
        <CustomAction Id="RunNotepad" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" ExeCommand="[SourceDir]PL\PL.exe" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="asyncNoWait"/>
    </Fragment>
</Wix>`

as this is a non-standart use of .msi googling gives me no help (
