Take a look at "System Folder Properties" in the MSI SDK but it probably
won't be there:

Not without communicating between deferred CustomActions which is
definitely not recommended unless there is no other option. What I
described below is the way I would expect things to work based on my
reading of the MSI SDK.

You need two separate SqlString elements. Your current authoring is not
supported.

All of the built in MSI properties are documented in the MSI SDK. Look
for the "Property Reference" topic.

The Merge Module would need to have a public Property and you'd have to
refer to it with its modularized Id in your MSI.
Or you could use Configurable Merge Modules but they are usually more
complicated than worth the effort.

I'd suggest adding a dialog before the one that kicks off installs;
SpawnDialog should really be used only for confirmation type popup dialogs.

Hi there.
I just noticed that using the WixUI_Advanced that the UI goes almost directly
to the license dialog going very, very fast through the Welcome dialog.
Is this by desing? Should it not go to the Welcome dialog and then hit next? It

Seems to me like a timing issue. I think the "cancel" command will not be
processed until your custom action returns. Then Windows Installer might
decide that it is too late to cancel immediately before / during
InstallFinalize.
I would try to call MsiProcessMessage() at the end of your CA. If
