It sounds to me then that a type 2 CA is not the solution then.
I guess that gives rise to some more questions:
1) Where should I schedule this to ensure that rollbacks can be handled,
keeping in mind that the assemblies I installed are in the GAC before the CA
runs?
2) What options do
In creating a custom pre-processor function extension, I've run into trouble

I could but I would expect all the .aspx,.ascx files, etc to move in there too.

I forgot to mention, running "wixcop -f" on your authoring files should
automatically update your files from any schema changes from WiX 2.0 to WiX 3.0.
I can't guarantee it will fix everything, but it should fix a lot of trivial
things for you.

1 - correct but by Vista you actually mean Windows Installer 4.0/4.5 as this
also applies to Server 2008 (Vista/2k8 RTM & SP1 ship with Windows Installer
4.0, SP2 ships with Windows Installer 4.5).
2 - correct but again by Windows 7 you actually mean Windows Installer 5.0.
Same thing in practice
If you want it to run during the UI you need to sequence it in
InstallUISequence not InstallExecuteSequence. From that code it's not
running at the end of installation, it's running at the start of the
