You're probably crashing. The Windows Installer has an exception handler to
ensure that poorly written CustomActions don't hose the transaction.
You should look at other places in the code where WcaGetProperty() is used.
You'll find the WiX code has very, very few hard code buffer sizes.

Be wary of level 0 for features - you can get into scenarios where it's
difficult to bring the features back to life :)

Not that my other problem has a solution yet, but I've move on to try to get
something done. I am no having a problem trying to use the WcaGetProperty
function. I have a property [License]
I call the function using
WCHAR l_wcLicense[2];
HRESULT hResult = WcaGetProperty(L"EULA", l_wcLicense);
Got it!
A value of 1 works for me because all of my subfeatures are set to 2.

I'll look a little more closely in that direction. I initially set the
subfeatures level to Level = 0 and that just kept them from displaying.

You may have to check if your custom action function has a correct function
prototype:
extern "C"
__declspec(dllexport)
UINT __stdcall MyCa(MSIHANDLE hInstall);
1. extern "C" is required if your source code is C++.
2. __declspec(dllexport) is required if you do not have separate DLL definition
What does your custom action do? You should avoid writing your own custom
actions whenever possible because it is difficult to write one which
properly handles all install/repair/uninstall scenarios.

Could you not run the installer using CreateProcess(), and then wait for it
