It seems like you are trying to do lots of non-standard ways for UI handling. I would recommend you take a look at implementing an external UI handler and leave the internal UIs as simple as possible (or just none). Several packages from Microsoft use external UI. For example, Visual Studio 2005

I'm sure you know this but the custom action is in the MSI rather than the MSM and no it isn't created if the dummy directory is not present. I have attached my test samples if they are any use.   Incidentally, reading the documentation on this I spotted an interesting gotcha. If you were to

I agree – there should be some way to catch this mistake.  Before you added the dummy directory entry, did the MSI even include the custom action to set the modularized directory name to the real directory name or did it omit that?  Basically, I’m trying to figure out what crumbs will be le

Yes adding the dummy entry fixed the problem. We have checked both VS2003 and VS2005 and neither of them create modularized folder names - so I guess that is where the bug is!   In an ideal world there should be an ICE error if the dummy folder is missing.   Neil   From: Rob Mensch
