Sorry, I misstated.
I would like the order of the dialogs to be as follows:
Welcome Dialog
License Dialog
My Custom Dialog
Install Directory Dialog
That appears to be how it is correctly linked in my xml, however the install
directory dialog simply is not shown at any point in the process.

Hi,
I have an installer which asks for a license key.
The license key is stored in an xml file, but it's not very obvious for
users, and it may be difficult to change it manually, so I would like to
allow users to change the license key directly through the installation (in
Change mode).

Might work. A better design though is to put the user customizable stuff in a
separate directory in the user's profile and have the defaults installed with
your application. That way you don't have to handle this complicated upgrade

Well after taking a closer look, using the patchgroup attribute does fix
the sequencing. It doesn't not get rid of the error like I thought it
would. Is there anything else that I can do to stop getting the "file

I tried that. I set the PatchGroup to 1 for the two new files. I still
get the same error as when I don't use the PatchGroup attribute on the
two files. I get the file 'filename' cannot be installed because the
file cannot be found in the cabinet file.

I don't believe this should matter. By definition a rollback custom action is
sequenced before the custom action whose changes it will revert, and it will
get called if the install rolls back later than it. The Installed state of the
product seems irrelevant to me.

Why not just mark the new Files with PatchGroup and let WiX take care of
sequencing them for you?

The authoring you provided does not correspond with your requirements. The
snippet below clearly indicates that your custom dialog will be shown after
the license agreement dialog. If you want the InstallDirDlg to be shown then
you must modify the markup accordingly.
